Computational Craft

Precision, fused.

The design journey began in Rhinoceros 3D, where internal tolerances were mathematically defined to ensure a perfect friction-fit. Through 3-axis CNC fabrication and 3D-printed porcelain, we achieved a seamless union between industrial ceramic and hand-oiled walnut.

01 | Digital Logic & Modeling

The workflow began with a detailed 3D Rhino model of the portfolio box and watch dock. This phase focused on resolving complex joinery and the digital sculpting of a 3D logo, ensuring every component was calibrated for a perfect friction-fit before any material was cut.

02 | RhinoCAM Toolpathing

Using RhinoCAM, I developed 3-axis toolpaths specifically for hardwood “shorts.” By utilizing a custom mechanical jig, I was able to translate the digital 3D logo and pocketing routines into high-torque machining strategies that maintained millimeter-level accuracy across the walnut grain.

The final phase integrated 3D-printed porcelain into the CNC-machined walnut housing. The porcelain logo was toolpathed in RhinoCAM to ensure a seamless inset, creating a tactile contrast between the industrial ceramic finish and the warm, hand-oiled hardwood.
