New furniture concept - Look for CNC builder+reseller.

[pierrearchi]

Hello,

I have posted kit plans (scale 1:5) on Ponoko web site to make small scale model kit (on 2,5mm corrugated cardboard ) so users can explore (as LEGO) the solution that best suits small scale prior to committing to full scale cost of materials, cutting time and transport. All elements are reusable/recyclable for other furniture. Ex: with 4 chair kit you can create a table, etc. The system construction is designed without the need for adhesives and therefore designed for disassembly, one screw only need at the center to hold all the parts.

Once you have the design you like worked out, you can use your Shopbot !.
Next week on Ponoko : http://www.ponoko.com/showroom, search "ekoflex" or "the french factory".

To see a small scale chair construction video (it was an old trial last year ...not 1:5 scale !) : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x80...oncep_creation

Bye,

Pierre.

PS : Should work end of next week.
I will post images when i will receive the cardboard parts.

I propose today to use wing nuts to multiply the possibilities of including Ekoflex sytem can vary the angle between the parts of an object. To illustrate my point, I suggest you download in the google warehouse Lounge Chair 1.0 : From this example, you can start your own achievements ... Warning, you must change the position of rectangular holes in the panels to fit the joint. To help block the articulation with wing nuts should be added a non-slip material washer (???) or for easier use blocking clamp lever (?).

PS: Beware, I just realize that on some models the rectangular holes are 30mm wide and 25mm other. This depends on the strength that you need ...
Be careful before cutting. Check parts.

Bye,

Pierre.
