The Shaper Ecosystem Show: One Project, Start to Finish
What happens when you put the entire Shaper workflow to work on one project?
In this Session, we’ll take a project from the first layout to the finished piece, using Trace, Plate, Workstation, Origin, and BenchPilot. See how each tool fits into the process - from capturing and planning, to setup, cutting, and assembly - and how the Shaper ecosystem works together to make the entire build more seamless.

From Concept to Furniture with Studio + Origin
When you see a piece of furniture in a book or discover a design that inspires you, how do you turn that idea into something you can actually build?
In this Session, we’ll follow the journey from concept to furniture - starting with an existing design or idea, developing it into a workable plan in Shaper Studio, and then bringing it into the shop with Origin. Along the way, we’ll look at how to think through design decisions, prepare files for fabrication, and use Origin to turn a digital concept into a physical piece.

Getting the Most Out of Workstation
Shaper Workstation was the first accessory released for Origin to support vertical and horizontal work holding for repeatable setups.
In this Session, we'll explore how to get the most out of Workstation. We'll cover practical setup tips, different ways to hold and support your workpiece, and techniques that can help you work more efficiently and confidently with Origin.
Plus, stick around for a special Q&A with Co-CEO Joe Hebenstreit. Joe will join us to answer questions about Shaper's next chapter as we transition into the Festool family of products later this year. While we probably won't be able to answer every question, we'll do our best clarify and points of confusion.
