Adaptive detailing enables the design and production of additively manufactured connection details for non-standard spatial structures.
Rather than producing custom nodes in a separate prefabrication process, adaptive detailing enables the creation of connections that are manufactured directly onto building members tailoring the connection detail geometry based on as-found conditions.
The method is explored through robotic wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), a metal 3D printing technique based on GMAW welding. The robotic manufacturing process is coupled with sensing and feedback strategies to allow for local adaptive control of the connection geometry.
In the Spring of 2021 the project was featured in the #NCCRWomen campaign:
