| summary |
Extrusion is a well-established industrial production technique for making ceramic clay parts in high-volume, mass-production lines, using an auger to push the clay out from a reservoir through a die profile onto a conveyor belt. While the method enables elaborately profiled extrusions, the extrusion and die allow for no degree of variability across the production of several parts. Ceramic Forest explores how robotic fabrication and clay extrusion techniques can be integrated into a variable production process by mounting an extrusion die and extrusion system on an industrial robot end-of-arm tool. Experiments exploring fabrication parameters including the clay body water content, die geometry, air pressure, and a robot's motion trajectory were conducted, and demonstrated the merits of the approach. The fabrication method is also demonstrated through the production of a series of geometrically distinctive parts that are utilized in a full-scale, assembled, façade screen prototype. A computational design method was also developed for an architectural façade screen that generates design outcomes that align with the research’s established fabrication constraints. Together, these developments demonstrate an approach to die-formed ceramic extrusion and an aligned computational design tool for its use on architectural façade screens. |
