1 maya / mel programming languageMaya and the programming language of maya, mel, is used to program the basic concept.
The first step is to program the 'living surface' and the seating surface. With parameters the customer defines the size of the 'living surface' and the size and position of the seating surface. - livingsurface 1500 600 50 : width = 1m60 / length = 60cm / height = 5cm - seatingsurface 200 50 20 615 350 20 : position X on the livingsurface = 20cm / position Y on the livingsurface = 5cm / position Z on the livingsurface = 2cm (cuts 2cm into the livingsurface) / width = 61.5cm / length = 35cm / height = 2cm 
The next step is to place the legs,support or fixing system and the accessories or reshape the top surface. The legs in this example are taken out of a library. The RAS redefines the top surface to reshape it for ornamental purpose. |top| 2 surfcamSurfcam is used to define the cutting tools, simulate the cutting and produce the g-code that will be sent to the cnc-mill.This is split into a rough cut, to take away material (in this case the wood were the seat and accessories will be placed), and a fine cut. The fine cut will finish and smooth the hole that is left after the rough cut.
