    text: "We usually use CAD and 3D modeling software to design the products and define cutting lines to take it to CNC machine.\n\nSolidworks, Rhinoceros for 3D modeling and Autocad and Illustrator as CAD software to define cutting lines on 2D.\n\nHaving a predefined design, we take the material to be machined on CNC cutting machine.\n\n• Tips •\n\nAlways be careful to make the most of the material you spend, always try to manage the cutting space to avoid wasting the boards.\n\nPlastic boards are a little softer than wood in general, so you could cut in one stroke using the same drill you would use to cut wood. This optimises production time and gives a cleaner finish to plastic parts. Remember always make a test at first.\n\nYou can save the shaving after cut to use it again as raw material on sheetpress or extrusion machine."
  - text: "Once we have the cut parts we continue with assembly of the bench and its structure. \n\nIn this case, as it is urban furniture, we have designed a metal structure that allows to complement the object and give it stability and durability. \n\n• Tips •\n\nFor the connection of the plastic elements and the metal structure you can use galvanized or stainless steel screws and nuts. Stainless steel are a little expensive than galvanized ones, but are more resistant to oxidation.\n\nTo screw plastic parts we always recommend to do a drill with the size of the screw you want to install, this prevents the plastic from breaking or deforming when screwing with much pressure."
