2023 Winter Stations - 1:1 Scale Prototype

 This week the 2023 Winter Stations design and fabrication teams created their first 1:1 scale prototype. The team used the intended material for the project, as well as the intended rivet connections. Additionally, the components were cut using the CNC router, allowing the team to get a realistic idea of construction time and method. 

From this prototype, some flaws were found with the interlocking connections, especially small gaps and openings caused by misalignment. From here, the designers can fine-tune the model digitally, in order to account for these imperfections realized through the testing process.
