Computational Design for Fabrication

Task:
Designing a form and infill pattern aiming to print a cob
wall. The wall should consist of several blocks, each block
maximum of 10000 cm3 and a minimum of 45000 cm3 in
volume.

Taking the following factors into account:
- The smaller the block, the more blocks we will be able
to print.
- Considering the block interlocking strategy.
- Developing a Grasshopper parametric design system for the
block with relevant parameters.
- Developing a printing path for Kuka PRC to fabricate the
model.

Aim:
Creating a sustainable contemporary cob architectural
element and Ensuring structural stability with as little material
as possible.

Hardware/ Machines:
PLA printer, clay printer, Kuka robot
