FlipDot Frame

The FlipDots Frame is a modular support structure designed to facilitate the arrangement and control of individual flip-dot cells for creating dynamic display systems. Developed using the Skeleton Design methodology in Autodesk Inventor, this approach utilizes multiple base sketches distributed across different planes within a master part file, serving as the foundational geometry for all components and sub-assemblies throughout both models. The robust metal framework features precision mounting points, integrated handles for portability, and structural reinforcements to support either high-density dot matrices or larger digit displays. The parametric workflow ensures design consistency, facilitates modifications, and maintains precise relationships between all structural elements. These versatile frames enable the creation of scalable information display systems ideal for transportation hubs, stadiums, industrial facilities, and public spaces where reliable, eye-catching visual communication is essential.
