Design and Production of Customizable Furniture with a CNC Router

“You have reached the end of the course. Thank you very much for choosing it. I hope that now that we talk about various topics you feel more confident than ever to carry out your own final project. I share an example of the processes that I would like to see from your final project: The brief and the mood board Before sitting down to design your project, it is important to remember that design is essentially a discipline that is dedicated to solving problems. A good design, then, must begin with a complete understanding of the business problem to be solved and this will be the purpose of your design brief. Also, take the opportunity to create a mood board with ideas that are inspiring you to create your own project, analyze that of all that you saved you like and consider functional.

The sketch Make your first exploration sketches. It carries out the front, side and perspective views. I recommend that you do at least five to ten sketches so that you have a fairly wide variety to choose from. Finally, decide what will be the sketch with which you will work. Scale models Make quick models of your sketches. For this you do not need more than paper, cardboard and masking tape. Take advantage of the fact that you have the models in your hands and you can notice there if there are some adjustments that you must make so that your design is as good as possible. If necessary, sketch the adjustments you want to make to the drawing templates. Draw in Rhino Make the stroke of your project in Rhino. Don't forget to draw the settings you made on the computer. I arranged in a rectangle measuring 122x244 cm, the pieces that I had cut, but now do it with your changes. Finish the part Cut your pieces on your own machine or the one you have the most on hand. With the pieces ready, it's time to put the finishing touches in a workshop. Finish your piece and take some photos in which we can appreciate what you have created. Please don't forget to upload your final project. Remember, there is no future if it is not to share knowledge. I will be looking forward to seeing what you have created with the help of this course. If you have any questions, you can ask me through the forum, I will answer you as quickly as possible, I only ask you to be patient. While I invite you to see what the rest of your colleagues did and if you can give them any recommendation, do it in a respectful way. Thank you very much for joining me on this adventure, see you soon in the forum.”
