A newly constructed private residence in an exclusive Melbourne suburb was being internally fitted with numerous joinery for all its rooms. This included the bedrooms, kitchen(s), library and various other rooms. The unique architectural design of this residence consisted of numerous curved walls throughout the building. Fitting joinery to curved walls is a challenging exercise and requires accurate measurement of the curved wall surface. Using traditional methods, templates would be required to be produced at the building site and then drawn or digitised for the specialised software used to design and construct the joinery. The risk of measurement error in this process is extremely high and requires a high level of diligence and accuracy. Using Flexijet 3D, the measuring process became simplified and was accompanied with a high level of accuracy. The final drawing was then imported into SketchUp® for the design and construction process. The measurements and CAD drawing were produced in one simple process and in a fraction of the time.
The measurement of this area was completed with a high degree of accuracy and in a short amount of time. There was also considerable savings in no longer requiring to create on-site templates and then having to digitise them at a later stage. Note that the time savings indicated below were only for the room in the example above. This residence had a further 8 rooms with curved walls that required joinery. In total, the time savings were so significant that the Flexijet 3D would recoup its purchase cost in a short time with further projects of this scale.
