Abstract
AbstractThis paper investigates a novel reverse layered manufacturing process for the production of building components as an assembly system. The solution introduced in this paper is a system of computed layered manufactured molds for fabricating unique blocks. The goal was to create a system that can be influenced and tailored to incorporate culture, design preference, and geographical innovation. Based on the Global Fab Lab initiative (Neil Gershenfeld, MIT), that offers tools and CNC technologies to developing countries, this research investigates technology systems for building infrastructures with the impact of community intervention. The current research is twofold: it derives a systematic process that can be locally and globally repeated; and investigates the principle of sustainable technology using a repeatable system developed from CAD/CAM technologies. The layered manufacturing approach couples Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM) and direct geometry slicing. The technology described in this p...
