Side-Table The side-table consists of an endless frame as well as of two shelves that are let in the frame. The individual solid wood parts of the framing timbers are joined at the corners with a Mitre Joint with Dovetail Key. The shelves are let in the framing timbers by means of modified Dovetail Tenons. Not only a ridgid construction is thus created, but also, depending on the choice of material, a very attractive small piece of furniture.

?#

p2

The use of the Mitre Joint with Dovetail Key makes a simple and problemless assembly of the endless frame possible.

Clip-Shelf For the Clip-Shelf, the crossbars are simply clipped in the sides and the shelf is already assembled. This is made possible by the use of the Clip Tenon Joint. Because of the heavy demands on the material of this joint, the Clip-Shelf should be made out of multiplex plywood. The shelves are mortises in the sides by means of Finger Tenons, but they could also be put on drilled in shelf bearers.

C...Stool The C...Stool by Jochen Gros is one of the first pieces of furniture developed at the CLab at the Hochschule fr Gestaltung. The C...Stool is based on the Ulm Stool, which was designed in the early 50s by the Swiss architect and sculptor Max Bill for the Hochschule fr Gestaltung Ulm. Jochen Gros redesigned this design classic with the intention of clearly showing the effects of the CNC-production technology on the Ulm Stool. The influence of the production technology on furniture design is illustrated by the CNC-compatible wood joints as well as by the possibility of engraving various motives in the stool surfaces.

Meander-Shelf The Meander-Shelf was created in the course of the project l 100% CNC. The design aimed at developing a simple shelf that can be slotted together and thus assembled without problems nor tools, and at the same time be manufactured with as little trim waste as possible. The two vertical shelf bearers merge in such a way, that they can be cut out of one board in one go.

?#

p2

The shelves have slots that correspond to the designated vertical shelf bearers. The shelves are put in place and lock when pushed back. The better the fit of the joints, the better the stability of the shelf. The Meander-Shelf can be made out of various board materials.

CFrame and Panel The construction principle of frame and panel has a long tradition in furniture construction. While the framing timbers are cut out of solid wood, the panels can be made out of various materials, like board materials, synthetic materials or glass. The use of digital wood joints as joining elements for the framing timbers gives rise to interesting design solutions and, at the same time, greatly facilitates the assembly of the frames.

?#

p2

In the case of the CFrame with Dovetail Key Corner Joint, the framing timbers are not directly interlinked, but joined with the use of a connector, which can be made out of various materials. This makes it possible to push the mitred framing timbers on the panel and to then fix them in place with the connectors.

?#

p3

For the second type of frame, the framing timbers are joined by means of a Halving with Elliptical Tenon. For the vertical timber frames to go through, they need to be rabbetted rather than grooved in order to take on the panel. Afterwards the panel needs to be cleated from behind.

Frame-Shelf The loose sides and shelves of the Frame-Shelf are held together and stabilised by a closed frame out of solid wood. At the corners the framing timbers are joined by means of decorative wood joints. The joints are executed in such a way, that they can be put together and taken apart at any time without the use of tools. The sides and shelves can be made out of board material, like MDF, or out of solid wood.

Simplizissimus-Table The Simplizissimus-Table is based on a fairly simple and ingenious construction principle. All joining elements are machined together with the individual table parts. As soon as all parts are machined, the table can be put together without tools. As the assembly of the Simplizissimus-Table is self-explanatory, there is no need for written instructions. The Simplizissimus-Table was first presented by the CLab at the special show l Digital Furniture Construction 100% CNC on the occasion of the Interzum97 in Cologne.

?#

p2

At the special show the Simplizissimus-Table was manufactured in only 7 minutes on a CNC-machining center, of the kind one can already find today in many cabinet-makers and joiners workshops, and with standard tools. For traditional constructions, materials and production methods, this would be unthinkable, even more so when we bear in mind that the construction principle of the SimplizissimusTable can be materialised in a multitude of variants, thus making every table a one-off piece.

Chest of drawers The chest of drawers is based on a simple board construction. Top shelf and sides are joined by means of a Lapped Finger Tenon Joint. The board shelves or bottom shelf are mortised in or through the sides by means of Finger Tenons. The Secret Finger Tenon Joint is put to use as the joining element for the drawer sides with front, back and bottom shelf.

?#

p2

The chest of drawers can be maded with various numbers of drawers. The height of the drawers can be adapted to the given requirements.

Upright furniture For upright construction, the sides of the furniture piece are fitted with two vertical and one horizontal upright. Uprights and sides are connected with tongues, so that the sides can be pushed up into the thus created U. The vertical and horizontal uprights are connected with a decorative corner joint, the Halved Dovetail Corner. As the sides are flush with the inner edge of the upright, the corners of the shelves do not need to be notched.

?#

p2

The principles of upright construction can be put to use for a number of furniture, like cabinet furniture and low tables.

Zoom-Table The Zoom-Table is designed in such a way, that its height, width and length can be proportionally enlarged or reduced. Not only the outer dimensions of the table are zoomed in the process, but all joining elements are also proportionally adapted according to the zoom factor. This means that the number of Lapped Finger Tenons, which join tabletop and legs, always stays the same. In order to manufacture the legs with as little trim waste as possible, they are abutted in the middle by means of a table joint. In addition, this table joint prevents a deflection of the tabletop when loaded.

?#

p2

The Zoom-Table can be made out of various board materials. Depending on the cutting tolerances for the joints of the Zoom-Table, the table is either simply put together or it needs to be glued.

Lapped Dovetail The Simple Lapped Dovetail can be used to lengthen framing timbers, as well as boards or panels. Due to the dovetailed tenons, the joint is secured against longitudinal tension, while the scarf prevents a perpendicular shift. For decorative purposes, the tenons can take different shapes, e.g. like Ginkgo leaves, which can be arranged regularly or freely.

Double Lapped Dovetail As opposed to the simple version, the manufacturing of the Double Lapped Dovetail is much more costly. In exchange one gets a joint that is more durable and very decorative from both sides. The second row of dovetails is offset and this prevents an opening of the lower rabbet caused by loading, which can occur with the simple version. Depending on the precision requested of the router, the joint can be executed as detachable or glued versions.

Board Lengthening with Asymmetrical Dovetail Keys The Board Lengthening with Asymmetrical Dovetail Keys is a very decorative joint. Even though joints with dovetail keys are very old, they are hardly used in furniture construction. The dovetailed keys, which here are presented in an asymmetrical and alternating version, secure the joint against tension. The dovetail keys can be used for lengthenings as well as for width joints, or for securing cracks in solid wood boards and planks. The decorative value of the joint can be increased by the use of fine woods or other materials.

Board Lengthening with Jigsaw Keys The Board Lengthening with Jigsaw Keys clearly shows that let in loose connectors, a Jigsaw Key in our example, can take on a multitude of shapes. They can also be arranged in various ways in order to make a durable as well as decorative joint. When the Jigsaw Keys are used in width joints, due to the opposing main directions of shrinkage, it is recommended to keep the length of the keys to a minimum and to slightly undercut them at the ends.

Lengthening with Meander Key Unlike other loose connectors, e.g. the dovetail key, there is no traditional model for the Meander Key. The reason for this is that a key of this shape can only be made out of material that can stand longitudinal as well as cross tension. Suitable materials are, inter alia, multiplex plywood, acrylic glass or aluminium. When joining boards with a Meander Key, it is important to make sure that the wood is well dried and that there is enough material left at the inner radii of the key to withstand the tensile force.

Detachable Lengthening with Key The Lengthening with Key was designed from the start to be a detachable joint. It can be detached and relocked at any time without tools. The region around the joint is flattened on both boards and is provided with a slot. When both parts are assembled, the key is introduced into the interconnected slot and then turned. The geometry of the slot stops the key after a quarter turn. As the strain on all parts of this joint is particularly high, it is recommended to execute it in multiplex plywood.

Finger Tenons Due to the superior stability of finger tenons, it is hard to imagine traditional furniture construction without them. Finger Tenons are the simplest of the CNC-compatible tenons. They differ from their traditional models - the European finger tenon or the Japanese Go-mai-hozo-gata - through the deeper drawn cuts at the inner corners of the tenon base. The thus created jutted out tenons are characteristic for CNC-compatible manufacturing and give the joint its individual character. The width of the tenons should be at least three times the diameter of the router bit.

Lapped Finger Tenons The Finger Tenon Joint can also be executed as a lapped variant. The Lapped Finger Tenons are used wherever one of the two surfaces must not be interrupted by the joint for aesthetical or functional reasons, for example, drawer fronts or cupboard sides. Like all other tenons, the lapped finger tenons can be made using solid wood or various board materials like multiplex plywood or MDF.

Secret Finger Tenons The Secret Finger Tenon Joint hides the tenons in its interior from curious glances. As opposed to the traditional secret tenon mitre joint, the CNC-compatible version leads to a rabbet at the front edge. Secret joints are traditionally looked upon as the height of a cabinet-makers craftsmanship. Sweat and skill of the craftsman are hidden from the eyes of the world in the interior of the joint. It is said: Out of awe for his material, the cabinet-maker humbly conceals his own efforts in making a piece of furniture.

Fingertip Tenons The Fingertip Tenons are slenderer than the Finger Tenons. Ideally the width of the tenons equals the diameter of the router bit. In order to avoid that the tenons slip through, a special positioning tenon is placed at either end of each row of tenons. In the case of broader rows of tenons, additional positioning tenons can be inserted. Due to the greater number of tenons for an equal width, the Fingertip Tenons, as opposed to the Finger Tenons, have a higher friction tight which leads to a higher durability of the joint.

Lapped Fingertip Tenons The lapped version of the Fingertip Tenons is used wherever one of the two surfaces must not be interrupted by the joint for aesthetical or functional reasons. Depending on the degree of precision according to which the joint has been machined, we get a perfect fit joint that is durable simply by friction tight and can be detached at any time, or a joint that easily comes undone and needs to be glued. The exactness of the fit depends also on the correct tool, as well as feed and the depth of the Z-step.

Secret Fingertip Tenons The secret version of the Fingertip Tenons Joint leads to a rabbet at the front edge of the assembled joint. From a design-oriented viewpoint, this rabbet is an interesting design detail on furniture. For traditional wood and furniture construction the rule was not to let a joint show, however complicated its execution might have been. But today, in the age of industrial furniture construction with its invisible connectors in the form of dowels and lamellos, times have changed. The demonstratively shown joints are a sign for the quality of furniture made by a craftsman.

Fingertip Tenons with Key A special form of the Fingertip Tenon is the variant with key. Its characteristic are the prolongated tenons that have a groove on the outside which perpendicular runs across the tenons. After assembling the joint, a key with a square end-grain cutting is inserted into the groove and thus secures it against tension. There is no direct model for the Fingertip Tenons with Key. Ideas came from decorative forms of various corner locks, where surpassing tenons are employed as decorative elements.

Hammer Tenons Similar to the dovetail tenon joint, a characteristic of the Hammer Tenons is the fact that it withstands tension in one direction even without glue. This is not achieved through trapeze-shaped dovetails, but through tenons that are shouldered in their width, so-called Hammer Tenons. The best tensile strength of the joint is given when the thickness of the inner Hammer Tenon equals half the thickness of the board. A stop in the centre of the tenon base prevents the tenons from slipping through. The Hammer Tenons can be made using solid wood as well as various board materials or three-layer boards.

Lapped Hammer Tenons Like most tenon joints, the Hammer Tenons can also be made as a lapped version. As the Lapped Hammer Tenons are durable against tension in one direction even without glue, as opposed to the Finger or Fingertip Tenons, there are particularly suitable for drawers when the front should not be interrupted for design reasons. The strength of the rabbet that covers the hammer tenons should be between 1/4 and 1/3 of the thickness of the material. If the sides are joined with the use of hammer tenons, they prevent a warping of the surface.

Simple Slotting Joint The here presented slotting joints were created when it became necessary to develop detachable joints for demountable furniture manufactured from modern wood-derived materials, like multiplex plywood for example. For the Simple Slotting Joint, a slot is cut up to the middle of the board, at the end of the two construction elements that are to be joined. In order to achieve a high durability of the joint despite frequent variations of the thickness of the board, the slot is executed 2 mm less than the thickness of the board and a 2 mm groove is cut as a prolongation of the slot. An exact slotting together of the joint is thus made possible.

Slotting Girder Joint For the Slotting Girder Joint, the horizontal construction element, e.g. a shelf, is placed onto the tenon of the girder and pushed back in the slot that has been provided. Thus the board can not tip over and a durable joint is created that can be detached again at any time. Should the shelf be flush with the back of the girder, the self will be provided with an additional slot at its back edge. The Slotting Girder Joint is used for example for shelves. An advantage of the joint is a quick assembly and dismantling of the shelf without tools and small connectors.

Double Lapped Slotting Joint As opposed to the Simple Slotting Joint, the Double Lapped Slotting Joint is particularly suited for wider construction elements. A slot is cut in the wide construction element from above and from below and the narrow parts are inserted into it. Depending on the lay-out of the two slots, aligned or offset, the narrow parts either butt-joint in the middle or overlap each other. When they overlap each other, like in the case presented here, the thus created shoulder can be used as a rest base for further parts.

Hooked Slotting Joint For the Hooked Slotting Joint, the cross bar is pushed through a slot in the girding side or headboard and thus hooked. It is secured through its own weight, and can be detached at any time. The groove cut in prolongation of the slot not only permits to even out variations in the thickness of the material, but also guides the cross bar along its width and thus secures it against torsion. The Hooked Slotting Joint is suitable for bed construction or for cross bars of tables.

Double Lapped Slotting Joint with Key The Double Lapped Slotting Joint with Key is useful wherever the joint needs to be secured against unintentional loosening. The two lapped construction elements are locked with a turnable key and the enclosed part is thus fixed. Around the key, the construction elements that are to be secured are flattened in a circular area and a slot is cut in it. The key, that should be made of multiplex plywood as it has to withstand great strain, is inserted in the slot created when assembling both parts and then turned. The geometry of the slot is such that the key stops after a quarter of a turn.

Finger Tenons In furniture construction, the Finger Tenons are suitable for the fitting of shelves, cross bars and footrails. These items are mortised into the side parts being either executed as an open or as a blind version. The Finger Tenons, like the jutted out finger tenon corner joint, differ from their traditional models in the more deeply cut rebate on the inner corner of the tenon base. The width of the Finger Tenons should be at least three times the diameter of the router bit. The H-shaped mortises are, as well as the shape of the tenons, a typical characteristic of CNC-compatible manufacturing.

Fingertip Tenons with Lateral Positioning Tenons The Fingertip Tenons for T-shaped joints were developed parallel to the Fingertip Tenon Corner Joint. It is characterised by its slender tenons and can be executed either open or blind. Ideally the width of the tenons equals the width of the router bit. It is recommended, however, to chose a one to two tenths of a millimetre larger width of the tenons, so that the router can work the tenons without problem in one go. The outer tenons have been designed as positioning tenons in order to avoid a lateral shift of the tenons. Furthermore they prevent a distortion of the mortised parts.

Fingertip Tenons with Central Positioning Tenon The Fingertip Tenons can not only be executed with lateral positioning tenons, but also with one central positioning tenon. The latter version is mainly used when there is no great need to secure the mortised parts, e.g. cross bars and foot-rails, against torsion. If the mortised parts are broad, it is recommended to place more positioning tenons in the row of tenons. The Fingertip Tenons can be executed in solid wood as well as board materials. When solid wood is used, one needs to pay attention to the main direction of shrinkage in the mortised parts.

Clip Tenons The use of modern derived wood products and the transfer of jointing techniques from other fields necessarily leeds to new and innovative solutions. Clip Tenons make a detachable joint which consistently uses the springiness of multiplex plywood. The model for this joint is found in the field of synthetic materials. The Clip Tenons are made in such a way that both clip hooks flip back to their original position after being pushed through the mortises in the side part und thus secure the joint. The joint can be detached manually again and again by pressing together both clip hooks.

Catch Tenon The Catch Tenon Joint is a detachable corner joint. However, unlike traditional solutions in the form of connectors made out of metal or synthetic materials, the joining elements are part of the individual pieces of furniture. The Catch Tenon Joint can therefore be put together and detached without tools, which makes it particularly suitable for packaged furniture. When assembling, the catch is pushed through the matching latch and as soon as it is in the right position it flips back. The joint is secured against tension by the catch, while the tenons take on the arising forces.

100% C...NC

The project 100% C...NC - prototypes for the immediate production of customized furniture took place in the summer term 1996 in co-operation with the Technology Centre for the Woodprocessing Industry, Lemgo. The project groups goal was to develop virtual furniture which could be manufactured in a decentralised way on CNC-standard machines of the kind that are already increasingly used in the cabinet-makers and joiners workshops. Ideally at 100%! In addition, the virtual furniture should not only use the potentials of CNCmanufacturing, but also express the latter in their design. Prototypes of the furniture developed within the framework of this project were presented at the professional conference Creativity & Technology in Hamm in November 1996.Kitchen table with tenon relief Design: Thilo Schwer C...Stool - a tribute to the Ulm Stool by Max Bill Design: Jochen Gros

C...Lab - design research for the digital age

The C...Lab was founded by the product design department at the Hochschule fr Gestaltung Offenbach (Offenbach Design School) in 1994 and analyses changes in product design, which are a result of the current transfer from industrial to computerintegrated or virtual manufacturing. The task of the C...Lab is to continually focus teaching, research and experimental design on cultural or aesthetic aspects of the product, as well as on conditions and objectives of the new production technology. Particular attention is paid to defining foundations of CNC-compatible design, and to the experimental development of so-called virtual products with emphasis on the furniture industry.Of fenbach Design School

technologies find a new expression in the workshop furniture. They are the cabinet-makers answer to the increasing individualisation of mass production. 11 cabinet-makers from North Rhine-Westphalia have been developing and marketing the Werksttten-Mbel under the brand name NEWCRAFT since summer 1998. The furniture is manufactured in the NEWCRAFT workshops: decentralised, environmentally friendly, without long-distance transport, within the tradition of the cabinet-makers craft as well as on the most modern computer-controlled production machines.

a theory seminar under the tutelage of Prof. Jochen Gros in the summer term 1995. The goal of the seminar was to work out scenarios, which project the effects of the new technology on the production style and therefore also on product design in the future. The scenarios were based on the l model for virtual production, which had been developed at the C...Lab. online. produkt is a virtual product publisher. Its foundation was simulated by 15 students on the occasion of the C...Lab conference lFrom the Good to the Virtual Form - Product Design in the Digital Age in July 1995.

The Data formats

....cad

Data format of the FBZ CAD/CAM 2D software of the l MBA GmbH, formerly Robert Bosch GmbH. The FBZ CAD/CAM 2D software is mainly used in vocational schools for training purposes, together with the CNC-training machine FBZ. The FBZ CAD/CAM 2D software contains all functions that are necessary to create simple geometries and to prepare their machining. The machining process can be simulated on the screen for controlling purposes.

The digital wood joints are available in the CADformat - version 1.2 / update 98 - as 2D router contours, and include the selection of necessary tools, the dimensions of the stock part, as well as the work plan. These data can be passed on directly to the corresponding CNC-training machine FBZ 40/30 via the postprocessor, and then be machined.

The Data formats ....dgn Short for design-file. Design files of the CAD program MicroStation of l Bentley Systems Incorporated are filed in IGDS data formats. This format has been tried and tested for many years. It allows the user to read and work on data from former Micro Station versions without having to convert them first. In addition, this data format is binary-compatible for all operating systems; i.e. data can be processed on a Windows PC or Macintosh today, and processed further on a Unix system tomorrow, and vice versa. This ensures a maximum of flexibility in processing and a high investment protection for existing data. The following MicroStation demo-version is available on this CD-ROM: MicroStation SE incl. Modeller for Windows. The digital wood joints are available in the DGNformat as solids. The parametric volumes can be opened with the MicroStation Modeller. Should the DGN-files be opened without the Modeller, the solids will be converted into wire frames. They can be processed as wire frames, but they can not be converted back to a parametric solids.

The Data formats ....dxf Short for drawing exchange format. DXF has been developed by the software company l Autodesk. It is a neutral data exchange format for exchanging design-files. Most CAD/CAM-systems support importing and exporting of design-files in the DXFformat. Due to its restrictive number of describable geometric elements, DXF is mainly suited for the transfer of simple geometrical models. The efficiency of the DXF-format is directly linked to the development of AutoCad. The digital wood joints are available as 2D-contours in the DXF-format version 10 and as 3D wire frames in the DXF version 12.

B

The Data formats ....iges Short for initial graphics exchange specification, an interface for the transfer of product definition data, that is independent of the software producer, and normed by ANSI, the American National Standardisation Institute. IGES allows the transfer of all currently available wire frames and surface models, as well as technical drawings. IGES transfers apart from geometric elements - e.g. point, line, circular arch, plane or free form areas - and symbolic elements - e.g. text, dimensioning or hatching - also structural elements like allocations and attributes. It is, however, only of limited use for the transfer of complex surfaces and solid models. The digital wood joints are available as surface models in the IGES-format version 5.

The Data formats ....sim Short for simulations file. The SIM-file contains the NC data file of a workpiece according to DIN 66025 in the ASCII-format. The digital wood joints are available as data files in SIM-format. They have been prepared on the FBZ CAD/CAM 2D software by the MBA GmbH, and generated with the postprocessor for their use on the MBA CNC-training center FBZ 40/30. In the header of the SIM-file are given the dimensions of the stock part- U=length; V=width; W=height - with the position of the workpiece origin X, Y, Z as well as the reference point as starting point for the tools - E=cutter diameter; L=cutter length; H=total cutter length. SIM-files can be opened with text editors, like Wordpad or Simpletext.

Tenon Joint with Star-Shaped Mortise Tenon joints count among the oldest wood joints. It is impossible to imagine furniture and carcass construction without them. They have been replaced more and more by dowel joints due to industrial furniture production. They are, nevertheless, still superior in terms of durability. For the Tenon Joint with Star-Shaped Mortise, the tenon of the cross bar, that has beeen shouldered up to half the thickness of the wood, is placed into the vertical framing in such a way, that it is flush at the front. The Star-Shaped Mortise is a result of machining the joint on a CNC-router. The extended corners of the mortise ensure an accurate support of the rectangular tenon.

Shouldered Tenon The Shouldered Tenon combines the idea of the housed butt joint with the idea of the tenon joint. The flattened part of the vertical frame prevents the horizontal shift of the cross bar, while its side forces are transmitted by the tenon. The Shouldered Tenon Joint can be executed as a blind or open version. For the blind version, the tenon should be shorter than the depth of the mortise in order to avoid the tenon forcing on the mortise ground in case the wood shrinks. The Tenon Joint can also be secured against tension with the help of wood pins.

Locked Leg Framing The Locked Leg Framing is a removable carcass joint, which is used wherever legs are joint with framing rails, as for example for tables and beds. The front and back rails have tenons, the side rails have mortises. Both rails are flattened on the outside around the tenons as well as around the mortises. When assembling the joint, the rails will be slotted together and the leg will be introduced from below in the flattened area. The rails thus resist tensile forces and, at the same time, ensure a high stability of the angle joint.

3-Dimensional Finger Tenon Joint The 3-Dimensional Finger Tenon is a joint used for three-dimensional space structures in furniture construction as well as trade fair construction. The joint, illustrated here as a corner solution, consists of two basic elements: the outer and the inner framing timber which run parallel to each other. These two almost identical elements enable the problem-free assembly of complex structures. Because of their geometry and the stress under which element is put, the 3-Dimensional Finger Tenon Joint should be made, if at all possible, of multiplex plywood.

The graphical adaptation of the overview and text Printing pages of the CD-ROM Digital Wood Joints was optimized for screen visualization. Unfortunately, this lessens in some cases the printing quality. Line graphics sometimes appear muddy. Texts placed on colored backgrounds do not appear when printing on a simple laser printer. These problems are known and were accepted in view of an optimal screen visualization.

When printing, you also need to take into account that the page format does not correspond to the paper sizes normally loaded in your printer, as it was also optimized for the visualization on the screen. In order to adapt the page format to the paper size, you need to activate the function Shrink to fit in the Printer Set Up.

Help The data files of the digital wood joints provided on this CD-ROM in the various data formats have Importing the data files of the digital wood joints been carefully tested. Especially the dxf and IGESdata files were tested in different CAD and CAMprograms. The 3D-data files in the dxf-format version 12 pose problems when being imported in some CAD/CAM-programs. They are either not opened at all, only party opened or displayed in a distorted way. This is not surprising, as the documentation of the dxf-format is still full of gaps, even though nearly all CAD/CAM-programs are provided with a dxf-converter. Losses when exchanging data between various CAD/CAM-programs are generally caused by the use of different entities and differently defined dxf-converters. The dxf-files of the digital wood joints were opened faultlessly, among others, in AutoCad version 14. Please consult the manual of the manufacturer when importing data files into your CAD-program. The digital wood joints provided on this CD-ROM are represented in a 1:1 scale in all the data files.

Help Every digital wood joint can be opened directly out Opening files directly out of the Acrobat Reader of the Acrobat Reader from the overview pages, on which they are listed in all data formats provided on this CD-ROM. Condition is, that you have installed the application needed to open the chosen file on your computer. While the native CAD-data formats can only be opened in the corresponding CAD-programs, the dxf-files and IGES-files can be opened in several different CAD/CAM-programs. As the data exchange formats dxf and IGES can not be allocated to a specific application, you need to select one of the applications installed on your computer in the upcoming dialog box in order to open the file. In order to open a file, please make sure the software version of the corresponding application installed on your computer is the same to or newer than the one of the file. It is normally not possible to open a file if the software version of the program is older than the one of the file. All files of digital wood joints, which are provided on this CD-ROM, have been carefully tested in the
