3D molded parts
Learn how modern production technologies enable new freedom in design and form in interior design and be inspired by new materials, special surfaces, and unique shapes.
Freedom in Design
Round, slanted, profiled, or angled – what was frowned upon for decades has found a much greater resonance in architecture in recent years. Whether individual objects or entire buildings transformed from parametric computer models into reality, freeform shapes are more popular than they have been for a long time. This trend can also be observed in interior design. Freeform objects, profiled fronts, or round elements allow for individual accents to be set in design. They offer new possibilities for staging and add another dimension to spaces.
The newfound freedom in design presents interior designers with new challenges. Thanks to our many years of expertise, we are the right partner for the implementation of your visionary projects.
From handicrafts to high-tech
For centuries, the finest craftsmen have competed in incorporating the finest details into their pieces. Exclusive furniture resembled works of art rather than functional objects and was correspondingly expensive. With the industrialization of craftsmanship, the emergence of standardized panel materials, and the shift in architecture toward simpler forms, such objects increasingly disappeared from households. No one was willing to spend a fortune on a unique handcrafted piece when a modern piece of furniture could be purchased for a fraction of the cost. Only in recent years has it become possible in the craft industry to produce more complex shapes economically again. New technologies in the field of milling and 3D printing are suddenly bringing long-forgotten forms back to light.
Manufacturing technologies
In the following, we would like to introduce you to some of these new manufacturing technologies and show you what new possibilities in terms of form and aesthetics they can offer.
CNC milling
Milling using computer-aided machines is already widespread today. Most people use this technology for processing panel material. However, with the right machine and the necessary know-how, much more is possible. At Holzmanufaktur Auer, we regularly use this technology to produce complex 3D shapes and intricate surface structures.
Forming and bending
Form bonding, lamination, and wood bending are techniques that create new shapes without any abrasive processes. Often combined with CNC milling, they offer unique possibilities and extremely high-quality surfaces. At Holzmanufaktur Auer, we use a variety of techniques and process not only wood, but also acrylic, mineral, and composite materials to achieve the best possible results.
3D printing
3D printing has also found its way into furniture construction. Whether through special fasteners, for visualization, or prototyping – 3D printing offers unprecedented possibilities in planning and production.
Materials and surfaces
The material and surface requirements for 3D molded parts are extremely complex. Especially when using wood, it is crucial to accurately estimate the component's behavior to avoid errors. This requires both extensive experience in wood processing and comprehensive technological knowledge.
In addition to wood, other materials are increasingly being used for complex shapes. Whether milled plastic, mineral, or composite – the choice of the optimal material always depends on the specific application. Structural requirements, manufacturing options, and surface finish requirements must be carefully considered to create a first-class and durable product.
These precise assessments and our cross-technology expertise are what particularly distinguish Auer Wood Manufacturing.
