"Bracket that is the interface between one c-rail and the corners of 4 wall-panels"
• Category: Building blocks
• Materials: Multiplex 3.6mm or 3mm PMMA
• Process: CNC Milling
• Cycle Time: 50prts/h (12prts in 0.25 hours)
• Software: Onshape, NanoCAD, Inkscape
• Dimensions: H115 mm x W100 mm x D3.6 mm
To accommodate removable wall panels as well as “Rail sticks” on one and the same c-rail,
a bracket is needed to facilitate the attachment of the corners of 4 different panels per bracket.
This prevents the need of having to place 3 c-rails next to each other to have the same flexible functionality.
Besides the advantage that the product can be produced and stored as a “flatpack”, the intelligent use of “nesting”
generated a composition of the required shapes for assembly in an optimal way to laser cut.
This bracket replicates the same geometry needed to interface with the T-nuts that are compatible with the c-rails.
The use of 0.5mm gaps in the cutting trajectory makes it possible to store these brackets as a flatpack.
The separation of the flatpack into the individual parts the bracket consists of can thus be delayed to the moment
assembly is required. The individual parts can be easily pressed out and press fitted (no glue) into the designated holes
to form the final object.
The dimensions of this bracket are the result of considering:
the total width of 3 C-rails next to each other
the pitch and pattern of the holes at the back of the C-profile
the thickness of the rail sticks
the width of the T-nuts/diameter of the washer
the diameter of our smallest endmill (1/8”)
