“rapid-prototyping machines that cut wood!”

From what I read, the concept is too make a portable chair that turns into a board for easy transport and …completely made of wood?

1. Wood isn’t flexible, be sure to sit on a perfectly flat plane
2. Something already exsists with both plastic which is flexible and metal
which is durable
3. It doesn’t look truly functional and seems like a piece of machinery

structure is fine – seems a little too involved in the engineering and ignored form.

your starting point is “folding” which is ofcourse an advantage for the user, but i think you underestimate the form and aesthetics. i see something folding yes, but it looks like a machine piece, not a stool or userfriendly furniture..
i am also worried about the structure

What you need isn`t a rapid-prototyping machine, but a CNC.

America needs things like this. We waste too much space and resources, always wanting bigger cars, bigger houses, etc. (most can’t even pay for those things without loans haha!)
