Carl Schneider, Aarhus, Denmark
For years, Industrial Design (ID) students at the Aarhus School of Architecture have had to drill, cut and polish their ideas into models. For smaller models, this craft has always been both difficult and dangerous. To lower the risk of accidents and to produce more accurate models, the school recently installed a Roland MDX-540 high-end milling solution.
