Peronsal Project

Objective:
This project aims to push the boundaries of digital fabrication by exploring advanced 3D modeling techniques, focusing on the intricate design of joints, innovative folding structures, and optimized design for assembly. The objective is to create a functional chair prototype that not only serves as a practical seating solution but also as a testament to the synergy between digital design and precision manufacturing.

Description:
The chair prototype was meticulously crafted in Fusion 3D, where complex joints and folding mechanisms were developed to ensure both durability and ease of assembly. Every element of the design was engineered with precision, leveraging the power of 3D modeling to simulate real-world performance and structural integrity. Once the digital design was finalized, CNC machining was used to bring the concept to life, translating the virtual model into a tangible, high-precision prototype. The result is a chair that demonstrates innovative folding structures, seamlessly integrated joints, and a streamlined assembly process, showcasing the potential of modern manufacturing techniques in contemporary furniture design.
