summary |
This research explores the use of robotic pellet extrusion 3D printing (3DP) in the production of a multifunctional thermoplastic building envelope. A computational design method was developed to generate multi-layered systems of interconnected volumes using minimal surfaces, combined with a rib-stiffening approach that accommodates fabrication constraints. The investigation highlights the development of an integrated system that includes robotic end-effector tooling, programming/control methods to allow “endless” prints, as well as specific toolpath strategies to improve print speed and quality. These developments are then demonstrated through the design and fabrication of two 2.2 m by 1.1 m building envelope panels, and the results are discussed along with specific details of the printing process. The innovations of this research are: (1) a computational design tool that allows intuitive generation and adaptation of multilayer building envelopes to site criteria; and (2) a robust robotic control system allowing continuous, uninterrupted printing at architectural scale with minimal supervision and high-quality surface finish. |
