Scalar Robotic Thinnings Fabrication - Scalar potentials of robotic fabrication with weak wood assortments

Innovative utilization strategies for renewable raw materials are needed to reduce emissions in the construction industry. In the course of climate-resilient reforestation of regional forest stands, weak and thinned wood can play a particularly important role as a resource. At the same time, digitalization makes it possible to tap into new potentials of the raw material as a building material through innovative material-constructive applications. In the “ScalRobThinFab” project, Prof. Frank Bauer is making use of the specific characteristics and properties of the material in robotic manufacturing processes. Engineering research and development work is carried out using collaborative setups, implemented and applied in experiments and workshops. The project aims to create an interdisciplinary and collaborative research environment in order to further establish robotic technologies in timber construction and to develop regional value chains through high technologies.
