Squid Game - The Challenge
Towards the end of 2022 we were commissioned by Paul Argles Metal Design to produce all of the manufacturing drawings for the gantries and bed frames of the iconic Squid Games dormitory set.
45 different components had to be designed to fit together safely and securely, while enabling fast reconfiguration as the set evolved during the departure of competitors. The original design drawings were refined to allow components to be used in multiple locations reducing cost, storage and logistical burdens.
Even after refinement there were ultimately 1375 separate components. We produced 50+ detailed manufacturing drawings, each with associated annotated cutting lists. Some drawings had 6 or more iterations to ensure the designers, builders, directors, riggers, camera operators and health and safety advisors were happy with the end product.
Modelling every component in 3D using AutoDesk Inventor we could produce detailed and accurate manufacturing drawings, design and check the numerous junction details and produce 3D renders to fully explain design solutions to all stake holders.
