In this workshop we will work on wooden shells that are mass-produced at our industry partner Becker. New, parametric workflows today allow us to program robots in a much more accessible fashion, enabling new processes that rely on mass customization, instead of mass customization.

Industrial robots are best known for their applications in the automotive industry, where they fabricate a seemingly endless series of identical cars, performing the same action thousands of times per day. In collaboration with our industry partner Becker we are hosting a workshop on Robotic Mass Customization at the University for Applied Arts Vienna. As part of the Creative Robotics exhibition, Flexuous Filaments was exhibited at the Ars Electronica Center alongside exhibits from the University for Arts and Design Linz as well as JKU Linz.

To verify the assigned research qualities, a full scale prototype was realized within three days, forming a tremendous arch, weighing just 25kg and spanning more than six meter. The entire process was designed on a parametric workflow including digital design, structural analysis, detailing, optimized nesting and generation of machine code. When being assembled, the panels snap in place and interlock reciprocally when being bent to the predefined curvature and thus form the intended shape. All parts are machined from thin, 4mm birch plywood, incorporating the formative and structural working finger-tenon-joints as well as all constructional details. A network of dynamically shaped, co-acting beams consisting of several interlocking developable single curved panels are forming a double curved space. The project implements a multi-layered design process, taking material-, fabrication- and assembly properties as well as constructional and structural aspects into account and was applied in form of a pavillion.

Fortunately, the decision doesn’t have to be complicated if you can get the advantages of a flexible, long-life 7-axis robot for the price of a 6-axis robot. You may also find that your initial foray into robotics inspires many new applications for automation, and those may require more sophisticated movement. The simple process that you’re considering automating now can easily become more complex over time. But a robot is a long-term investment that should meet your requirements today and for years to come.
For simple pick-and-place requirements such as inserting and removing parts from a mold, 6 3-axis robot may be all you need. This machine is a robotic systems integrator that specializes in foam, sand, mold, robotics, and sculpting, among others.įor small and mid-sized manufacturers who are exploring robotics, the decision on 6-axis or 7-axis movement typically comes down to processing requirements and price. This robot cell is sculpting a bust of a man, this time from a foam block using the turntable to access all areas of the workspace. Robotic Solutions created this CNC Milling cell with a 7-axis Industrial robot system.
