Welding

It was necessary to cut each full blade in two pieces as the laser cutting machine has a maximum sheet size of 3m. In order to disguise the welds they have replaced what would have been a fold. The folded angle is CNC controlled the welding angle is not.



The central 'spine' pieces have 2 X 12mm plates attached at the back for fastening each module to the wall (that's why they stand so proud)



The tentative arrangement of one module.
