CUTS BIGGER THINGS [With Computers]

Inspiration

Geographic countouring and the ceiling contouring at Banq by Office dA.

Goal

+ Become familiar with the CNC milling software: Partworks, and ShopBot

+ Cleanly cut several sheets of highly specific curvatures FASTER THAN WOULD BE OTHERWISE POSSIBLE WITH A JIZSAW

+ Develope an efficient workflow for generating a series of contours with variable control contours

Bonus

+ Make it look cool

+ Build a storage shelf, because I need some extra storage in my apartment

Design

Designed with Rhino. 3 key contours. Loft surface between contours. Array regular intervals. Sections along intervals. Arrange section manually. Export individual
sheets for each Shopbot job.
