The present invention relates to a construction system which is based on parts made from parts of various materials: wood, OSB, plastic wood, aluminum or steel, with precise fittings that can be modular and standardized or follow special needs according to the project. These pieces are intended for the assembly of a scenery structure, booth, event structure, among others. Parts are made to ensure the structure's safety and rigidity, allow for quick and easy assembly and disassembly of scenarios, dispense with specialized labor and allow the reuse of parts for the construction of future scenarios. . The system eliminates the use of glues, nails and screws and uses tie straps to ensure the joining of parts.

The part production process is based on digital manufacturing systems and generative design, where all design and definition work takes place digitally and in a parameterized manner. The parts are then machined on CNC-Computer Numerical Control machines, ensuring precision in microns on them.

Dividing the system into smaller parts allows for easy replacement of damaged parts without the need to change the entire surface and allows for more storage.

The system also allows the use of various machined foam or fiberglass materials to make surfaces and finishing details.

The building system can be divided into two parts or just one depending on use.

System composed of two parts:

The two-part system is used for the assembly of spaces that require assembly and disassembly in very short time, it can also be used in applications with traditional assembly times.

The structural parts of the two-part system consist of a structural part and a finishing part. The structural parts are made up of digitally manufactured parts with precise fit and then assembled to create a self-supporting surface. High tensile bonding straps are used to hold the assembly together. It can be transported and stored in the assembled or in individual parts. It also has metal pins, fixed to its structure in millimeter machined locations and serve to fit other system components.

Finishing parts are made up of pieces that snap to the structural surface with metal snap pins and can be made into large pieces or smaller pieces as needed. Metal fittings between frame and finish are fixed to parts at millimeter-marked locations in the digital fabrication process.

System consisting of one part:

The one-piece system is used for mounting

spaces that are mounted for a long period. It is composed of a structural part composed of digitally manufactured parts with precise fit and are assembled to create a self-supporting surface. High tensile bonding straps are used to hold the set, which does not require the use of metal snap pins. After assembly, the parts are finished directly in their structure.

The system eliminates the use of glues, nails and screws and uses tie straps to ensure the joining of parts.

Material Description

Structural parts use cut-off parts on type 15 CNC machines and, for this purpose, use materials that allow machining and guarantee their structural rigidity for their intended purpose. In addition to the machined parts are also used metal pressure pins to ensure their fixation and durability. Lashing straps may be made of PET (polyester), PP (polypropylene) tape or steel, fixed by metal element or thermosolded.

Basic Assembly Description

The assembly must follow the manual provided by the designer and the assembly process of the structural system must follow the following order: first the vertical edge elements are assembled, which after snapping 25 together are tied by the fixing straps. Then, the male and female fit of the horizontal structural parts are made to the vertical edge pieces and their subsequent lashing.

The inner vertical pieces fit into the horizontal structural pieces by sliding through grooves in both. If necessary, the horizontal edge structural parts are snapped to the top and / or bottom of the structural surface by snapping and taped to the structural surface. The front pieces are then fitted into the assembled structure and secured by the lashing straps. The finished structures are then fixed to each other by the connecting structural parts, and then apply to the finishing parts that are fitted by metal snap pins. Every structure must previously undergo structural engineer validation.

Having described an example preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the scope of the present invention encompasses other possible variations and is limited only by the content of the appended claims, including the possible equivalents thereof.
