If you have ever assembled IKEA furniture, you understand how a flat box packed with
parts and hardware can be magically turned into three-dimensional furniture. But why
buy one-size-fits-all particleboard furniture shipped from halfway around the world,
when a CNC machine empowers us to locally fabricate designs made anywhere, using
whatever local materials we choose?
This book is an introduction to designing for digital tools, and a hands-on resource for
fabricating furniture projects with large format CNC routers. It takes you through the
basics of CNC fabrication, with step-by-step instruction on software setup, prototyping,
production, and construction of furniture projects.
Perfect for designers, STEAM teachers, fabricators, entrepreneurs, and Makers of all
skill levels, this book is an essential resource for anyone who wants to explore the
powerful combination of digital fabrication and design. Written by the founders of the
architecture and design firm Filson and Rohrbacher, this book uses their AtFAB furniture
series to illuminate the design and fabrication process through simple, clearly illustrated
step-by-step projects.
With Design for CNC, you will learn:
» The fundamentals of design thinking for CNC fabrication
» Software and fabrication techniques for making 3D furniture with flat parts
» How to turn the digital precision of a virtual design into a physical reality
» The principles of proper CNC machining and digital craftsmanship
» How to fabricate your own furniture, including stools, chairs, and tables, as well
as a desk, storage cabinet, and even a credenza!
This book describes a world of possibilities enabled by sharing digital designs for
CNC tools—making its case using something we all use every day: furniture.
