Honeycomb Substructure System has a variety of application in a variety of environment, especially but be not limited to, manufactures and building industry.Its unidirectional intensity by providing the structure support perpendicular to structure hive to make full use of structure hive, and without the need to lamination.In the mill, in order to produce the panel of single panel or associating, this system can be used as the part of the framing tools for preformed honeycomb structure, and then this honeycomb structure can force together to produce honeycomb panel with sheet layer.In addition or alternatively, in structure, furniture or construction material, this system can be used as the permanent minor structure of honeycomb structure, and honeycomb structure then can with sheet material lamination to improve intensity and rigidity.

Be susceptible to honeycomb to be formed by cardboard, but in some applications, may need larger bearing strength, honeycomb can be formed by timber (such as, but be not limited to birch).Preferably, the thickness of timber is in the scope of 0.4mm to 1.5 mm, and more preferably thickness is 0.8 mm.

In certain embodiments, honeycomb can be formed by material strips, such as (but not limited to) timber, plastics or metal, and this material is flexible and strong.Each comprised profiled edge in material strips, the shape of adjacent strip and/or be of a size of and uneven make when expanded, honeycomb has molded non-planar, and this can provide ergonomics benefit to user.Laser cutting tool can be used to carry out such shaping.

Substructure System has the many advantages being better than conventional honeycomb structure.Such as, production inflexibility honeycomb structure is no longer limited to the production environment of factory, because laminating technology now can perform on the spot when Substructure System is installed in honeycomb structure.

The invention provides a kind of cheapness, simple and efficiently method carry out preformed and manufacture bending honeycomb structure.Invention also improves precision and the degree of accuracy of producing and there is the honeycomb structure of nonlinear geometry shape, because the shape of honeycomb structure depends on the shape of Substructure System completely, Substructure System can carry out finely tuning to become required form before the mounting and/or before any layers compression technology in office.And, can carry out now the change of honeycomb structure shape on the spot, because Substructure System can be easy to unload.
