Stack Lamination - The Pearl
This workshop was conceived with the aim of familiarizing participants with the procedural intricacies of Stack Lamination milling, employing an Industrial KUKA robot arm. The methodology encompassed the integration of both digital and conventional fabrication approaches. We engaged in practical applications of 3-axis CNC milling, robotic milling, and traditional woodworking practices, including manual sanding, among others. This workshop mandated the conceptualization of a furniture design tailored for a prospective cafeteria in Barcelona, coupled with the formulation of a corresponding fabrication strategy. The following summarizes our research findings and the results we achieved through the workshop.
Prototypes
When developing designs based on the constraints of the workshop, we filtered down to three prototypes based on design, function, and fabrication. The following are the three prototypes: 1) Prototype A is a design of a Chair, 2) Prototype B is a design of a Coffee table, and 3) Prototype C is a design of a Sculpture.
