Customizable Shelf and Furniture Production
- 總結
- Lead Inventors: Philip AnzaloneProblem or Unmet Need:The furniture market is highly competitive due to the standardized of design and globalized production. Unique furniture is desired by customers but prohibitively expensive due to the requirement for handmade production. The ability to automate custom furniture production would potentially add value while keeping production costs low. This technology, called Softshelf, is a system and method for customizable furniture design. The system was tested for shelf design. Five design parameters can be varied by the customer to create a unique design. A Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) milling machine carries out the furniture production. The precision milling combined with the strength and flexibility of wood allows wide variation of the parameters and creation of unique shelves. Other furniture items such as chairs and benches are possible using this system.
