A METAL BENDING ROBOTIC WORKSHOP WITH EFILENA BASETA & MARIELENA PAPANDREOU

Robotic Simulations as a way to understand fabrication workflows and complications using digitized methods and animations.

Robotic Fabrication Setup

The first thing we start on when it comes to the simulations is the fabrication setup. This setup is modeled from the real world to a digital space by calibrating a few key points and inputting them in grasshopper.

Robotic Movements Simulated

The Robotic Simulation shows us the entire movement cycle of the fabrication process that can then be checked and rechecked for any collisions from any angle, to be able to capture even the smallest of issues.
