SUMMARY:Production-Immanent Design by Sigrid Brell-Cokcan & Johannes B
 raumann / KUKA
DESCRIPTION:Robotic arms are best known from the automotive industry, 
 where they are used to perform repetitive task with high accuracy and 
 repeatability. Today, these multifunctional machines open up new possi
 bilities for young designers and architects, as they enable completely
  new fabrication strategies at a much lower cost than most multi-axis 
 CNC machines. A crucial step towards establishing robotic arms as valu
 able machines for the creative industry is the development of new soft
 ware that goes beyond the scope of common CNC software. This workshop 
 will introduce participants to KUKA|prc (parametric robot control), a 
 robot-control and simulation plugin that extends the accessible parame
 tric modelling environment Grasshopper beyond design. While common CAD
 -CAM workflows rely on multiple software packages to pre- and postproc
 ess data, the integration of robotic fabrication into a parametric env
 ironment allows designers to create new workflows that inherently cons
 ider the constraints of fabrication processes and can be constantly ev
 aluated and optimized in regards to e.g. reachability and kinematics. 
 We refer to such a process as production immanent design. These highly
  optimized processes allow designers and architects to economically re
 alize designs with a degree of customization and individualization tha
 t would otherwise be impossible to do with industry-standard CAM-softw
 are.  This workshop is kindly supported by KUKA Robotics.  What partic
 ipants can expect to learn in this workshop: Participants will be intr
 oduced to the concepts of production immanent design, manufacturing pa
 rametric designs, and controlling a KUKA robot from within the paramet
 ric modelling environment Grasshopper. We will explore ways how to int
 uitively define complex fabrication processes via graphical programmin
