Brief

In this workshop, we had to design furniture for hot wire cutting, which involved dealing with the various constraints, in the process of achieving a final model for fabrication.

This booklet showcases the design process that we developed in the workshop. We spent the initial weeks designing geometry based on the ruled surface principles and later on developed these principles to tackle a complex set of operations to achieve a three-dimensional volumetric model. Following the same design DNA matrix, we managed to develop a model for fabrication considering all the restraints involved in dealing with robots. Finally, with the usage of the model, we were able to iterate multiple compositions without compromising the functional aspect of the module. Overall, this entire process had to be repeated multiple times, to achieve a model that runs smoothly for hot-wire cutting.
