Opendesk is a global platform for local making. You may use the to download, make and buy work space furniture.
OpenDesk has a global network of makers and a collection of furniture by a range of international designers. Because OpenDesk furniture is designed for digital fabrication, you may download the digital file and make locally - on demand - anywhere in the world.

- To enable OpenDesk projects to be viewed, edited and created using a variety of free, open source software as well as innovative proprietary solutions
- To help create new ways of visualizing, collaborating and improving OpenDesk projects
- To leave behind the notion that you need 2D plans on paper in order to build things
Scripts that attempt to recreate the OpenDesk projects by creating 3D models on-the-fly using code with user-entered parameters.
- First post 2015-07-24, latest update 2015-07-26
- First pass at creating the Slim Chair as an app
- Four slider bars control width, depth, seat height and material thickness
- Many minor issues still to be resolved
- Particularly with the bracket
- Add adjust height of back slider
- Needs a code cleanup
- Future releases to include
- Add lights and select material
- Add render scenes
- Version with two arms instead of one back?
- Silly Rendering: Slim Chair as a Lorenz Attractor
- View highly parameterized complex geometry
- View fully parameterized with assemble and disassemble, simple geometry
- Exploded view - has issues
- Original design by AtFAB
- Output to SVG, STL, PDF, Three.j JSON and over formats
- Create pretty renderings
Scripts that read 2D DXF files downloaded from OpenDesk and transform the data into 3D models viewable in your browser.
- First post 2015-07-21
- Assembled components positioned by algorithm ~ except that angles are not yet computed
- Add 'Assemble slowly' button
- Slim Chair is designed by Jose Pacheco
- Assembled components positioned by algorithm ~ except for angled components
- Latest update: 2015-07-04
- Original design by Joni Steiner and Nick Ierodiaconou
- Does not yet show pockets or alignment holes
- Minor parts are not positioned at all
- Rotation of some parts is incorrect
- R1 is is a reverse-engineered best guess as to the positions of the various parts in the design. Bug reports will be much appreciated.
- Assembled components positioned by algorithm ~ except for angled components
- Original design by AtFAB
- Assembled components positioned by algorithm
- Probably the most finished demo as of this writing
- Designed by AtFAB
- View several AtFAB DXF files in 3D
- Latest update: 2015-06-27
- The first script in this series
- Toggle display of names or references of each component
- Add indication of the outline of the whole original plywood sheet
- Allow for size of cutting tools
- including depth
- Output to SVG, STL, PDF, Three.j JSON and over formats
- Create pretty renderings
- Obtain assembled 3D positions from the original SketchUp files
- Display animation in order of the sequence of construction
- Add exploded view
The current collection of scripts are built using Three.js. Three.js is an open-source JavaScript library dedicated to building 3D apps on top of the WebGL built into modern browsers. By communicating directly with the GPU in your computer, WebGL apps are very fast. The Three.js library enable even entry level programmers to build highly interactive apps on top of WebGL.
- All scripts support zoom, pan and rotate
- Rotate by dragging with left mouse button down or by pressing one finger
- Zoom by using mouse scroll wheel or by pinching two fingers
- Pan by dragging with right mouse button down or by pressing two fingers
- Free, open source software
- With source code and live demos viewable in your browser
- All available on GitHub
It is hope that in the future apps based on other technologies such as OnShape or Grasshopper on Rhino and others are added to this collection of tools.

- Update Read Me
- Add Standing Table DXF

- Added Dev Notes

- Add OpenDesk AtFAB DXF viewer
- Add DXF files
- Update read me files
OpenDesk designers each seem to have their own favorite way of creating DXF files. Designers use their own layer naming conventions, their own scale units and even varying DXF revisions. Thus a different DXF reader will have to be built for each designer. I have started with AtFAB because they have a simple format. The only issue with their method is that there is no indication that a polyline is a hole inside another polyline, so I am having to identify these manually.
