summary |
In Chinese traditional timber building, “Dou-gong” stands as one of the most distinctive features to present the Chinese structure style. However, the preservation and reproduction of Dou-gong face difficulties due to the withering craftsman issue. This paper proposes a method to digitize the structure into BIM (building information modeling) and reproduce it via robot-based fabrication. By modeling these Dou-gong components with BIM technologies, we can establish a geometrical and non-geometrical 3D database. Then we use Autodesk Fusion and Grasshopper to design the robotic fabrication information whose information is transferred from 3D database models. Based on the fabrication information, including work paths and tool parameters, the KUKA robotic arm with six axes can precisely mill the wood materials into Dou-gong components without any traditional craftsman’s processing. |
