Description

Design, DIY, and computer-controlled fabrication are a powerful combination for making high-quality customized things. Written by the founders of the architecture, design, and research firm Filson and Rohrbacher, this book takes you through the basics of CNC fabrication, the design process, production, and construction of your own furniture designs. Through their AtFAB series of projects, accompanied by an overview of digital techniques and design thinking, this book introduces the knowledge and skills that you'll find widely applicable across all kinds of CNC projects. Not only will you learn how to design, fabricate, and assemble a wide range of projects, you'll have some great furniture to show for it!While 3D printing has been grabbing headlines, high school, college, library, and other public makerspaces have been making things with CNC machines. With a CNC router, you can cut parts from strong, tactile, durable materials like wood. Once you have your design and material, you can set up your job and let it run. When it's done, you can put the project together for an heirloom of your own. While 3D printing can make exciting things with complex designs, CNCs are the digital workhorses that produce large-scale, long-lasting objects. Read more

    • Project Based Book Focusing on the Details!
I've been waiting for someone to compile a book like this! Very in depth and not just a cursory glance at CNC theory nor just a gallery of cool CNC produced furniture. It is a project based book that goes into the DETAILS! Love it. I bumped into the authors at the NYC Maker Faire in a couple months ago and was lured to their booth where they had joinery examples and a copy of the book. Bravo on this! ... show more

    • Good For Mid to Professional, Quite Detailed and Useful.
This is the book you want if you are past the basic level or want to jump right in. It has detailed technical descriptions without being a textbook. The author gives insight into design theory, toolpaths, woodworking, engineering and CAD. All of it geared toward getting professional results.

    • Good if a little specific
It's a fine book my only real gripe is it spends alot of time discussing the specifics of using certain cad and can software. I would have rather spent less time on specific tutorials and more in theory and joinery.

    • For people that heard about cnc woodworking, but know absolutely nothing
If you watched less than 10 youtube videos about cnc woodworking, this book might be for you. If you watched 10 or more, you probably know more than the book offers.

    • An excellent how-to guide for getting started with CNC routers, practical design thinking, and digital fabrication concepts
You get six how-to furniture projects in this book, but, more importantly, you get an excellent introduction to designing projects for digital tools, especially CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) machines. The book offers numerous pictures, illustrations and diagrams, as well as well-written text. And you definitely do not just grab wood and start marking and cutting. As the authors note: "This book is an introduction to the fundamentals and techniques for designing in two and three dimensions, with the aim of fabricating furniture projects with large format CNC routers. This book also serves as a jumping-off point for further explorations in CNC machining, design, materials, and software workflows." But the authors also caution: "As a comprehensive introduction, this book is not an exhaustive or exclusive resource on CAD or CAM software, CNC routers, CNC machining, CNC joinery, or woodworking techniques." Instead, they have chosen to stay in the world of 2D machining methods for their projects, creating flat parts that are then assembled into 3D furniture. They emphasize the importance of learning "CNC fundamentals and perfecting digital craft through 2D machining," first. The authors caution that "3D machining is significantly more complex than 2D, typically requiring a different workflow and often a separate CAM program and more advanced modeling software." However, in this book, you do get exposed to some "practical design thinking and digital fabrication concepts" that you can carry forward once you are ready to move deeper into CNC machining. "Make: Design for CNC" can help a wide range of Makers, teachers and others who want to learn how to use CNC routers and what it takes to design projects that can be fabricated using CNC machining. My thanks to O'Reilly Media for providing an advance reading copy of this book. ... show more

    • You need to know what you expec to get from these plans.
Interesting projects. Makes flat and hard furniture. But I expect to learn how to use these manufacturing techniques for needs.
