The Melnikov Press-Fit Kit
Figure 1. The cutsheet for the Lasecutter looks like this.
This project is an exploration in 3-D of some simple geometric principles I am interested in since I started styudying Konstantin Melnikov's work (check some references to my previous work on Melnikov Grammar here). Melnikov's geometric principles work on the plane. Can they be translated to space?

Figure 3. The compound types
It was very difficult to foresee the kind of artifacts it would generate. I wanted to create an open system.

Some photos of the first prototypes: I used 1/16 in chipboard, with a tolerance value of 0.007 in (at each side of the slot).
