Design, MasterCam, and Fabrication by Kristen Gandy
​
This design features slight topographical changes across the surface of a product display stand. Each curvature on the surface is designed for the specific products selected for display.
​
The fabrication method optimized on the use of the least complex milling and fabrication for a very complex T-Spline surface.
​
The whole display was made from one piece of birch plywood using flip milling on a 3 axis CNC mill, rather than using a 5 axis or 7 axis to accomplish the production. The MasterCam file and the chosen fabrication technique reduced production time from a projected time of 3 hours to a completion time of 40 minutes.
