Wood Technoloy

Hardware and software development

Published on March 12, 2009

The wood projects "The Sequential Wall" and "The Opening" were build up through an industrial 6-axis robot at the Professorship for Architecture and Digital Fabrication, ETH Zurich. Specific export code and design functions that facilitate the integration of real world constraints into the design software environment got developed. On the hardware side a special wood gripper was engineered. Hardware and software are in close relation and supplement each other.
