The great thing about having a 3D printer in a cabinetry studio…

Custom Hanging Rail Cups

Trials & tribulations. The above photo showing the initial 3D print, aluminium ‘V5 & final brass components for our hanging rails. Wouldn’t have been possible without our 3D printer! Plus and many design iterations

It all started with a 3D model, developing from our. Standard solid brass cup. Then onto development with the 3D printer & finally milled out of aluminium to test. This is where I realised upon installation that I had missed a crucial part… being able to remove the rail if if get damanged. Back to the drawing board for “v6” designed with micro roller ends to allow the base key plate to slide over the main casing. Concealing fixings & providing replacement / refinishing when required.

As our entire system revolves around digital fabrication, it makes sense that we utilise 3D printed components to aid in the development of our bespoke projects.

Quick & Dirty Physical Visualisation

As everything is digitally fabricated first, it just makes sense to add in a 3D printer into our studio. Complex corners on paper worked through by printing the component first as a Jig has worked wonders on previous projects. It also allows us to experiment with details & cross sections before committing to timber.
