Materially Informed Design to Robotic Production: A Robotic 3D Printing System for Informed Material Deposition

This paper presents and discusses the development of a materially informed Design-to-Robotic-Production (D2RP) process for additive manufacturing aiming to achieve performative porosity in architecture at various scales. An extended series of experiments on materiality employing robotic fabrication techniques were implemented in order to finally...

The structural feasibility of 3D-printing houses using printable polymers

At this point in time, 3D-printing techniques in general, but especially applied for the building industry, still are in a phase of early experiments. One of the experimental attempts is to print a full-scale, three-story high, house in Amsterdam, using an up scaled version of a FDM-printer that is able to print blocks of 1.8 x 1.8 x 3.0 meters...

Infections

This paper covers two workshops that are instances of a research on the feedbacks between parametric patterning and material behavior. Infection sets the conceptual background of these workshops utilizing pattern deformations as a generative technique. Gridal Infection workshop focus on real-time dynamic patterns while Reflex Patterning workshop...
