Process

1

CNC Wood Prototype Creation

Designs are initially created in CAD/CAM software, after which they are sent to a CNC machine which precisely cuts a wood block to the specified design.

2

Mould Creation with Vacuum Forming

The edges of the wood design are sanded down, after which the design is placed in the vacuum former and a polystyrene sheet is melted on it to fit tightly.

3

Casting, Labels and NFC Tags

To obtain a physical representation of the design, plaster of Paris is poured into the mould and is left to set for several days. Labels and NFC tags are then glued onto the sanded-down final product.
