Treehugger posted (Link) about an interesting little business called Unto This Last (Link) which takes orders on their flatpack furniture and fabricates them on demand (they use a CNC). There are some interesting pieces on their website, including the above table. I usually think about fab-on-demand only in terms of additive processes like metal sintered parts (maybe because I’m so familiar with subtractive processes – like sanding foam), but I should give regular CNC more credit. To that end, considering all the models I’ve made for CNC’ing, I should design something, have it made and get it shipped to me. Have to give it some thought.
