This is—as they say—relevant to my interests. I visited www.inrekor.com but didn't find this drawing. Where is it from?

The projects they show go way beyond the refinement of that design.


Can non-flat parts be cut and folded like this, or must they be maufactured in 3D?
The aluminum must be cut, then formed. Then the polypropylene foam board must be heated in a steam cabinet until it is malleable for forming into the shape of the aluminum part. The parts can be laminated after they cool and dry.
