Classic Hockey Table Prototype

A handcrafted tabletop hockey project designed from scratch using Unity, CNC machining, 3D printing, and custom fabrication. Developed over 18 months with a focus on realism, precision, and smooth gameplay.

Hockey Table Prototype

About the Project

This project recreates the experience of a classic tabletop hockey game using modern digital design tools and custom fabrication methods.

The playing surface measures 36” x 22” and is built primarily from wood, acrylic, PVC foam board, and custom 3D printed components.

Every player path and movement system was carefully designed, tested, and refined to achieve smooth gameplay and realistic movement.

So far, the project required approximately 4 months of active work spread over a year and a half of development and experimentation.

Design & Fabrication Process

Combining software design, digital fabrication, and physical prototyping made it possible to bring the project from concept to reality.

3D Simulation

Unity was used to prototype player movement, layout geometry, and gameplay mechanics.

Mechanical Design

Blender helped develop the internal gear and movement systems used inside the table.

Fabrication

CNC machining and 3D printing were used to manufacture the final parts and structure.
