I see design as a process in which an idea should meet the real world as early as possible. A model, prototype or mock-up makes it possible to test things that cannot always be assessed on a computer screen \u2014 proportions, construction, ergonomics, functionality and the behaviour of materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My own workshop is an important part of the studio. It allows me to move quickly from a digital design to a physical model or prototype, then feed my observations back into the design and develop it further.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Model-making<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The workshop brings together traditional model-making techniques and modern manufacturing methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the needs of a project, I work with wood, plastics, foams, composite materials and other materials used in model-making and prototyping.

3D printing
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I use FDM 3D printers in the studio to produce models, prototypes, test parts and small batches of designed objects quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3D printing also supports other manufacturing processes. I use it to make jigs, fixtures, handles, assembly components and models required at later stages of a project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

CNC milling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The studio is equipped with a 3-axis CNC milling machine with a working area of 1,300 \u00d7 1,300 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can produce larger structural components, models, moulds, jigs and parts intended for further assembly. I use it for both prototyping and small-batch production.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

From prototype to small production run<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Combining design, model-making, 3D printing and CNC milling allows me to carry out a substantial part of the process in my own studio. For more complex projects, I work with trusted subcontractors who specialise in specific technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

A project does not have to end with technical documentation. In many cases, I can take it from the first sketch through prototyping and testing to the manufacture of the finished object.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
