Chaise Longue

Step 2Double-Checking the Design

Double-Checking the Design
Before ordering all the parts from Bosch-Rexroth, I built myself a styrofoam scale model.

I wanted to see how the chair looked in 3D, but also double check that no parts were competing for the same piece of space-time real estate. 2D CAD may have its merits, but it doesn't help you discover such problems.

This model also provided me with a feel for the weak spots in the construction. I could push it here and there with my fingers, observing were it bent the most.
