How to Attach Cardboard using Makedo

AI Summary:

The Makedo Scru and Tools system offers an innovative, reusable solution for constructing cardboard structures by securely fastening pieces without the need for adhesives. Utilizing a simple process of puncturing cardboard with a Scru-Driver and securing joints with reusable Scrus, users can create modular, customizable designs. This system not only promotes sustainability but also enhances design flexibility through a variety of joining techniques, including tabbing, slotting, flanging, and bracing methods, thereby encouraging creative and structural experimentation in educational and prototyping contexts.

Overview

With the Makedo Scru and Tools, you can easily and securely attach cardboard to create your own custom structures and designs. Simply punch a hole in the cardboard pieces using the Scru-Driver, then insert a Scru and tighten it with the same tool. Repeat this process to join multiple pieces and reinforce the joints with additional Scrus. The best part? The Scrus can be easily released and re-used for your next cardboard creation. Say goodbye to messy glue and limited cardboard creations, and say hello to the world of limitless possibilities with Makedo.
