CNC Routed Furniture

This project tackled the challenge of transforming a single 4' x 8' sheet of plywood into a functional furniture piece, fabricated entirely with a CNC router. It provided a valuable opportunity to navigate material and machine constraints, emphasizing efficient material use and clever joinery to create a practical and visually appealing design.

Ideation & Prototyping

The process was highly iterative, utilizing foam core models, 3D-printed, and laser-cut prototypes, all at scale. This hands-on approach allowed for rapid testing of design concepts, joinery, and stability before final CNC fabrication.

CNC Fabrication

Programming the CNC router involved meticulously translating 3D designs into precise G-code, optimizing toolpaths for efficient material removal and clean cuts. This stage required a thorough understanding of bit selection, feed rates, and spindle speeds to suit plywood characteristics and ensure successful operation.
