Abstract
Robotic fabrication and manufacturing technologies are traditionally known for their benefits in automation processes of full-scale design and construction (Seyam 2003). However, their value as design content and material generators has only recently been explored. CNSILK aims to explore the potential of integrating advanced robotic manufacturing techniques through custom developed end-arm tooling with biologically inspired design principles to create a biologically inspired digital design fabrication platform. With a special focus on robotic deposition of tensile fibers inspired by Aranaeidspider web construction, this design approach seeks to establish a pilot case study in biomimetic fabrication.
