The Early Days
In a manner of speaking, origins of 4 AXYZ go all the way back to 1987 and early foray by Chaz Design in the field of interior & product design, primarily of wooden furniture and wooden light fixtures
We diversified into manufacturing with the founding of Chaz Woodworks in 1988. Turnkey contracts combined design service, manufacturing and execution. Success and rapid growth demanded a search for superior finish and faster output via automation. Our founders approached that exercise with analytical diligence as we do for anything significant
THEN…
We gathered depth of knowledge of machinery in our industry and over the years, we have formed strong relationships with machine builders, suppliers, innovators and engineers
“Additive Manufacturing” is an umbrella term which includes different processes of 3D Printing which use laser, heat, reconstitution, UV and other methods for plastics, metals, ceramics and concrete as powder or paste. There is no practical method for wood if converted to powder or paste. That is where 3D Manufacturing for wood using SAM comes in. SAM is industrial grade, super-fast and efficient and uses real, natural wood for each microlaminate layer
Cloud computing and AI have made it possible for Wood to further benefit from its own special characteristics using SAM. We have patented our process
