Before cutting any microbeams, thoroughly review the layout plan. The plan graphically indicates the length of each microbeam and how it should be glued to others to form a component .

: Since you cannot glue beams directly onto a tablet or computer screen, you must print the plans and place them under a transparent sheet (like acetate or a specialized building board) to keep the paper clean and reusable.

: Many Matchitecture blueprints (like the Eiffel Tower or Taj Mahal) are larger than standard A4/Letter paper. You may need to print them across multiple pages and tape them together accurately. 5. Common Tools Required The instructions assume you have the following starter kit: Microbeams : Specialized wood sticks (usually 53mm long).

: When using a PDF to build, ensure you print it at 100% scale (no scaling/fit to page) . Matchitecture rely on "microbeams" being exactly the same size as the drawing on the plan; if the printout is even slightly off-scale, the pieces will not fit together correctly . Matchitecture.com : Welcome!

Most projects involve building flat, 2D panels first. These panels are then assembled together in a later stage to create a 3D structure. 5. Drying Time

You lay individual microbeams directly over the blueprint template.
