Below are the top 5 constraints, and top 5 specifications for my Art Deco PC Stand. Constraints: Material Choice – Because I will be laser cutting the individual pieces of the stand at either the Idea Forge or ITLL at…

They are made for functionality and the look actually gets worse when more design aspects are…
