Abstract

This paper presents a novel method for the integrated design, optimization and fabrication of space-frame structures in an autonomous, digital process. Comparative numerical studies are presented, demonstrating achievable mass reduction by application of the method by comparison to equivalent to normative space truss designs and dimensions. As such, a principal digital fabrication and assembly scheme is developed, where an architectural design methodology relative to the described process is established, and the proposed process is demonstrated through scaled digital fabrication experiments.
