In this project, potentials for timber construction are to be developed within the current building inspection regulations with a focus on applying automated and flexible screw-press bonding methods. The aim of the project is further to verify the prerequisite for application-specific manufacturing processes of robotically bonded timber joints and develop them.
The screw press bonding offers the only possibility to work without form-restricting pressing machines, but its potential in digital fabrication is not yet explored and brought into alignment with building codes.The joining processes developed in the project have the potential to find broad application in versatile building systems of the future.
