On the Structual Use of IMCs
From Open Source Ecology
Basics
- IMCs can be used as a standalone structual unit for machines/buildings (Such as in a HMCU ), or welded/attched together as modules of a larger structure
- This is a great use case, but special considerations must also be taken to ensure structual integrity of the final design, as well as preventing damage from use in this role
Methods Of Support/Protection
Corrosion Protection
Flooring
- Adding some sort of (Sacrificial?) floor will help protect the container itself from wear and allow for bolthing things to the base etc
Load Balancing
Support Collumns
Support Horizontal Beams
