This production had 3D bricks in its scenic design - after creating some samples from MDF, our designer wanted a more “perfect” looking brick rather than a weathered, organic brick. Our technical designers spent much of their time designing and toolpathing this brick that was cut on a CNC router, then sent to paints for a multi-layer paint treatment.

This production had 3D cinder block, similar to the brick, we created a sample to be toolpathed, cut on the CNC router from MDF, and sent to paints. The cinder block covered all of the interior walls of this set.
