By developing furniture and other products using off-cut scraps from mass timber manufacturing, this project aims expand the potential product lines available to manufacturers, create further value, and decrease material waste. This work continues development of furniture using this concept and branches out into development of other modular products, with the hopes that manufacturers could integrate or partner with other craftsman to open secondary product lines using scrap pieces.

In order to increase the efficiency of a product line utilising inconsistently shaped pieces, the researchers are also exploring enabling technologies such as a linked catalogue of designs and nesting algorithms for use in component machining.
