Design and manufacturing of organic shape furniture

Kitek Kuzman, Manja (author), Šernek, Milan (author), Kariž, Mirko (author)

Wooden furniture of organic shapes was mostly handmade in the past, each piece was almost unique, since the manufacturing processes did not allow repeatability and larger quantity production of the same products. Today, modern 3D modelling software leads to completely different prospective in wooden furniture design and production. It enables modelling of any kind of shape, based on ideas, natural shapes, even 3D scanned existing shapes, etc. Furthermore, prototypes can be 3D printed. This enables that visual presentation of designed form is made in real. Based on the printed forms virtual models can be improved leading to the final sophisticated model. Additionally, during design process the best construction details can be made to improve material efficiency and manufacturing time. Final product can be than made on CNC machines, enabling reproduction of the same product of desired shape in chosen quantities.
