| summary |
Clay slip is renowned for its versatility, enabling seamless molding, casting, and firing processes that facilitate the production of precisely-shaped and diverse products with varied sizes. However, its limitation in producing variable components without new molds presents challenges for integration into architectural practices where variability is often advantageous. This paper introduces an innovative slip casting approach that allows for the production of diverse clay forms using a single mold by employing a 6-axis articulated robot to rotate the mold during the solidification process. A simulation program predicts the solidified slip's shape in realtime, and a customized end effector attaches the mold to a robotic arm and periodically injects additional slip for precise edge control. The proposed method combines traditional slip casting with industrial robotics, offering greater control over geometric qualities without increasing mold demands. This study offers a potential solution for advancing ceramic manufacturing by overcoming conventional limitations, which could offer opportunities for increased innovation and creativity in architecture and beyond. |
