ISOMORPHISM Stylized Translations of 2D Prototype in Additive Clay Printing

Abstract

AbstractTraditionally, the relationship between digital prototypes and fabricated entities has been explicit and stable. However, recently, the ambiguous relationship between the above is coming into our focus. This research discusses a series of methods using the industrial six-axis robot to achieve diverse stylized expressions under specific prototypes and reveals the relationship between robot-controlling and printed features in order to figure out the stylized topological relationships of digital twins. This paper begins with a consideration of the relationship between imaginary archetypes and solid entities, which leads to the possibility of hitherto unknown polysemy. Next, several methods to determine the robot motion parameters based on different style details were applied, which could examine the effect of each process according to a predefined prototype by the controlled variable method. Then, some experiments have been carried out to demonstrate the connection between robot movement and fabricated details, along with the method to generate the corresponding toolpath for specific design intent. This research shows the possibility to create diverse translations based on a targeted 2D prototype by defining robot movement, which will fundamentally improve the form-shaping capability of digital technologies.
