POKE CREDENZA
The Poke Credenza in Chapter 15 is a volu-
metric storage cabinet with a modest span
and a set of sliding doors that move smoothly
without hardware. It was AtFAB’s first entirely
CNC-fabricated piece with moving parts. The
doors are made of a thinner sheet material,
which provides the challenge of coordinating
fabrication details and offers an opportunity
to explore CNC patterns.

CELLULAR SCREEN
The Cellular Screen in Chapter 16 is a parti-
tion that demonstrates how using multiple
interlocking assemblies can overcome the
size limitations of standard plywood and CNC
dimensions. It’s a short step from this parti-
tion to small structures. The screen’s parts
aggregate to form a lightweight structure that
can handle a long span and vertical rigidity.
Fabricating the Cellular Screen is straightfor-
ward. It has simple toolpaths, parts, and
assemblies like the projects that precede it.
The screen introduces the concept of working
on a large project, and the necessary planning
and managing of a project with many parts.
