| summary |
Transforming raw stone materials into building elements and materials using traditional tools and methods has a long cultural history. As a reflection of computational design thinking, current production methods have been transferred to digital environments, making them suitable for processing and interacting with numerical machines. Physical media and production processes, which are difficult and slow to change and regulate, have been transferred to the digital environment and made programmable, changeable and open to algorithmic manipulation. The development of digital design and production methods in architecture has also paved the way for the digitalization of natural stone processing applications. Digital Fabrication methods are effective at all scales and stages of architectural processes. In subtractive methods, which is one of the digital fabrication methods, the material is shaped by subtracting parts from the main whole by cutting or milling. Processing with a robot arm is a subtractive production type, such as traditional stone carving. The process consists of the tool attached to the robot arm moving on the block. Along the path followed by the tool, the material is shaped by subtracting it according to the thickness, shape, step distance, progress speed, adjusted depth, and axis. In general, stone processing consists of two steps: rough processing that roughly removes the material layer by layer and fine processing that processes the remaining part precisely to produce a surface finish. The design of this production process creates a relationship between time and quality. At this point, simulation can be used to design the process based on the production tool before production and to provide feedback on the produced form by measuring it to the digital model after production. This study provides a comparative framework for the different processing steps of natural stone materials for robotic fabrication. The research includes collecting data on natural stone processing and robotic fabrication, drawing a framework for the geometric form to be processed, designing the stone processing process with a robotic arm, conducting simulation experiments, and analyzing simulation data. Since performing the experiments in physical would be restrictive in terms of cost and time, simulation technique was preferred. In this way, it was possible to conduct more experiments, and analyzes were strengthened. |
