Patent ID: 6948289

Claim:
A method of fabricating 3D construction forms comprising the steps of: preparing a first panel with a predetermined pattern of perforations through a thickness of said first panel; preparing a second panel with a corresponding predetermined pattern of perforations through a thickness of said second panel; assembling said first and second panels in a fixed parallel spaced apart relationship by connecting said panels together with connectors designed to engage said perforations of respective panels, and wherein said panels are assembled by the steps comprising: i) placing a first panel in a fixed position held by a frame; ii) placing a plurality of connectors in a clamping mechanism associated with said frame so that said connectors are aligned with and engaged to the perforations of said first panel; iii) placing a second panel to be mounted on said connectors by aligning and engaging said second panel perforations to the other ends of said transverse rods; iv) securing said panels in said parallel spaced apart relationship by attaching fasteners to said transverse rods; and v) wherein said first panel is a standard sized panel, and wherein said method includes the step of extending the dimension of said form by adding at least a portion of a standard panel to said standard sized panel in edge to edge relationship at a joint so as to form a construction form of non-standard size dimensions, and fastening said portion of said standard panel to said first panel by a plate extending between adjacent connectors on either side of said edge to edge joint.
