Cutting large pieces at ProtoSpace in Utrecht. Since there was a large format (approx. 250cm x 120cm) CNC table router available we were able to cut the larger pieces out of wood (OSB: oriented strand board), which simplified the assembly and lowered the cost.
In addition to cutting out the shapes, we also milled partial-depth grooves to position the acrylic pieces and to hold them in place.
We made a partial, full-scale mockup of the design to make sure our assumptions about scale were in fact correct, and to make final adjustments to the dimensions.
Proof of concept.
