Bench Blocks
At Chalkpit Design, we developed Bench Blocks—custom desktop tool holders crafted to blend functionality with modern design. Using the Bambu Lab X1C, we 3D printed modular, high-strength components with precision and speed, allowing rapid iteration. For added detail and material contrast, the xTool P2 laser cutter was used to create finely engraved inserts and accents. This combination of technologies enabled a streamlined, sustainable production process, demonstrating how digital fabrication tools can turn simple ideas into refined, functional products.

Bench Blocks—custom, space-efficient tool holders tailored for modern desks.
Engineered in SolidWorks, each design was optimized for strength, modularity, and ease of use. We used the Bambu Lab X1C to 3D print the units in ABS, chosen for its durability and heat resistance. This material, paired with the printer’s multi-material precision, allowed us to produce high-quality, functional components with minimal waste. Enhanced with engraved details from the xTool P2, Bench Blocks showcase how digital tools and smart materials combine to deliver elegant, production-ready solutions..
