Iintroduction

We have observed in the build of GVCS machines that a 3D scale model can assist one greatly in terms of prototyping. The reasons are 3-fold.

  1. A scale model allows for several features to be tested which are not possible to see in a 3D model:
  1. Fabricability - while a 3D model can be drawn successfully, it may to always be possible to build it in real life because of unforeseen parts interferences.


These models may be obtained by 3D printing or laser cutting. See Laser Cut Scale Model of Brick Press Frame:
