SmartBench CNC - Small footprint, endless capabilities

It is truly amazing the scale of projects that can be undertaken with the Yeti Tool SmartBench.

Mark Miller, Director of Forme Design was recently commissioned to design and produce all loose furniture for Eclat, based in Camberwell, Victoria. Eclat presents a unique, members only workspace that provides not only a higher quality of work life balance; but a new level of hospitality integrated into every facet of the experience.

The Yeti Tool SmartBench CNC was used to prototype furniture from materials such as 30mm veneer ply, structural ply and composites. As the project grew,

Forme Design was tasked to design and manufacture architectural and built in furniture. Two stand out examples are the ceiling arches and banquet seats.

The ceiling arches are presented throughout the hallways and open spaces in the working areas, and the banquet seating throughout the events and hospitality spaces. Cut from structural ply, the production of nearly 100 ceiling arch units and over 150 banquet seat sections, comprised over 200 sheets of 15mm ply cut on the SmartBench CNC.

Mark saved time and money with the ability to rapidly prototype in-house. Without SmartBench, CNC fabrication would have been outsourced, where you have little control over iteration and time. At a little over $15k investment, SmartBench was quickly amortised and saw Mark get an almost instant return on investment through this project. web www. yetitool.com.au ❚

“Put simply, the SmartBench is a work horse, it allows me to design in a way that frees my workers from unnecessary labour so they can concentrate on the fine finishing details that our business is known for. It quickly became an essential part of our manufacturing process. At that price point, it was an easy choice to invest.” - Mark Miller, Director of Forme Design.
