Robotic Infiltrations

REX|LAB, 2013


The project represents a continuation of research that explores the potential of additive digital production through the use of robotically controlled placement of phase-change polymers in the production of full scale structures.

It is a collaboration between the University of Innsbruck’s REX|LAB and the Institute of Architecture at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, The handling of virtual simulation methods and the engineering of full-scale structures using robotic manufacturing were a primary focus of the project.

The Plantolith

REX|LAB, 2013

3D silica sand print 1700/1000/200mm, approx. 250kg, produced for and exhibited at the 3D Printshow 2013 at The Business Design Centre, London UK

Sponsoring and fabrication: ExOne Digital Part Materialization

Photography: Marjan Colletti
Exhibited: 3D Printshow London 2013

In geometric terms, plants and monoliths stand at opposite sides of the spectrum. 3D-printing technologies allow the hybridisation of the two. On the one hand, Plantolith simulates natural processes, blurring the boundaries between tectonic elements and natural forms. On the … more

Depicting: Robotic FOAMing

Instructor: Peter Massin

As a supplement to the ProtoRoboticFOAMing design studio, this course attempts to achieve a spacial and formal interpretation of the small scale, self-organizing spaces intrinsic in foam structures.
The students deconstructed images of their work intensively and interpreted their view towards these spaces in various 3D and rendering platforms. The results were presented in a final exhibition.
