This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to make CNC furniture, including choosing what to build, creating a simple sketch, drawing components using Sketchup, dimensionalizing connections, ordering of assembly, and exporting the file. Chairs are a common choice for furniture, and CNC plywood chairs are easy to create. The article also discusses the advantages of CNC furniture production systems and the step-by-step process to achieve strong and feasible assemblies.
The author has over 10 years of experience in flat-pack/friction-fit table design, which is used to create vector lines in images to be cut with CNC routers, laser cutters, and more. High-quality DXF files can be used immediately with just a little tweaking. The article also discusses the power of technology in creating functional, environmentally-friendly furniture that is easy to assemble using software and machinery.

📹 Making a Plywood Chair with a CNC – free plans
This video follows a maker as they design and build a chair using a CNC machine. The maker shares their process, including design changes, cutting techniques, and assembly tips. They also provide free plans for viewers to create their own chair.
Hello, I am hoping in the future to remix this to help those who are looking to escape DV situations as well as help those get back on their feet. My goal for the remix is to be able to disassemble by removing screws and stow the screws in the seat, and when disassembled it will lay flat for storage or moving.
That’s a really good looking chair. There was loads of design work that went into it and it’s good to see a bit of the process as you made the prototype. I was wondering as you made the dowel jigs if you could have cut at least some of those with the CNC? Maybe using some sort of mortice and tenon joint cut but the CNC might also be an option. (Appreciate that would have probably added to the two day deadline in CAD time though 🙂
i bought the plans a week ago, and i cut up version of the chair, i found that the angle from the seat to the back rest 80 degrees, and this makes this design very uncomfortable to sit on, as 80 degrees sitting posture is ergonomically shit!! so i think a new sitting posture is on the cards, perhaps somewhere in the 100 – 105 degrees.
really great project! I was looking for a modern chair from plywwod whose height could be adjusted. I am planning to make a walnut dining table and want to keep the max height of the chair to be flushed with height of the table. That would give a very clean look to the whole setup and help to appreciate the beauty of the walnut table top. These plans are perfect!
