Robotic Fabrication of Modular Formwork for Non-Standard Concrete Structures

摘要

In this work we address the fast and economical realization of complex formwork for concrete with the advantage of industrial robot arm. Under economical realization we mean reduction of production time and material effi ciency. The complex form of individual formwork parts can be in our case double curved surface of complex mesh geometry. We propose the fabrication of the formwork by straight or shaped hot wire. We illustrate on several projects different approaches to mould production, where the proposed process demonstrates itself effective. In our approach we deal with the special kinds of modularity and specific symmetry of the formwork.
