Relações e diferenças no desenvolvimento de mobiliários por intermédio de técnicas digitais e tradicionais de marcenaria.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify relationships and differences present in the development of furniture produced using digital and traditional woodworking techniques, seeking to investigate how the factors used in both techniques influence Furniture Design. The research methodology is characterized as applied, with a qualitative and comparative approach; and as exploratory and descriptive in its objectives. The procedures adopted were a bibliographic survey, case study and field study. To this end, a design process guide was developed, consisting of 3 (three) phases: Create, Design and Manufacture. This reference model was developed based on the NBR 13532 standard, intended for the design of architectural building projects. It is also supported by studies that discuss the methodological relationships used in the design process in the fields of Architecture and Design. The professionals who participated in the study had experience in furniture development, one with skills in digital manufacturing techniques, specifically the use of subtractive CNC technologies, and the second with mastery of traditional woodworking techniques. These professionals were identified and selected based on the criteria outlined in this study. Data were collected virtually in the Create and Design phases, with the researcher observing the Manufacture phase in person. The results included the observation that there are similarities and differences between digital and traditional woodworking technique that influence the design of the furniture. Finally, the main influencing factors include: production technologies, object design method, materials, and process control.
