Students design a wood furniture or case goods solution using CAD and rendering software based on a hypothetical client scenario.

Design-it-Digital is an online student design competition owned and operated by the Association of Woodworking & Furnishings Suppliers (AWFS). Students are presented with a hypothetical scenario in which a client is asking for a specific piece of wood furniture and/or case goods with certain constraints. Students design their solution using CAD and rendering software. This contest introduces students to challenges that designers face when making real-world wood products and highlights the use of CAD software in the wood industry.
