Colander table: Milling aluminum blocks
5 October 2009
The Colander table by german design Danuel Rohr is manufactured the exact same way as Apple’s new MacBook’s unibody: by milling an aluminum block to its final shape. Both Rohr and Apple have a video of the manufacturing technique. And though it’s all computer controlled and the exactitude of these machine is evidently guaranteed, it’s nevertheless jaw-dropping to see the mill works its way though the piece with such precision every single run.
