Hallo, i am trying to find as much as possible info about this building technique.

It kind of sounds like building a airplane LEGO-style if the parts are CNC-cut. But ... i guess there is more to it.

I am trying to collect as much info as possible about it. The good stuff and the mistakes already being made.
I know of the Belite Skydock which i saw in Airventure 2015.
I know of the Facetmobile NASA project.
Link leads to pdf about this project.

Also info about covering those honeycomb structures with alu skin would be suuuper. Glue is being used here. How long does it take for these glues to get hard? Are jigs being used to keep skin on structure during curing?

Thanks in advance.
