Test cutting, fabrication and presentation
From September 7th each team proceeded with finalizing the data of the model chosen for fabrication. Students proceeded with test-cutting their team's model, testing joints and details, and then finally they used the final vector data for fabricating the needed parts.
The same laser cutters used for prototyping were used also for fabrication of structural parts by using 300x600mm and 450x800mm veneer panels, about 5,5mm thick.
Each team was allowed to buy minor stuff for binding and fixing such as plastic stripes, nylon wire, nails and screws for foundation fixing etc...
A limited number of SPF elements (2100x21x135mm and 1500x21x135mm) was also available for each team to help with foundation work and structural support. A limited number of tools for drilling was also available.
All fabricated parts were assembled and later disassembled by hands.
One of the requirement of the models was infact that these could be easily assembled, dismantled and packaged for transportation.
Each team made a presentation of about 20 minutes in front of critics, tutors, supervising tutors and the public at the main hall of the Mokuzai Kaikan in ShinKIba. Their projects and models were reviewed and commented.
