D1 – Robotic Fabrication with COMPAS FAB May 25, 2023
09:00 — 17:00 PAZ Central, ETH Höngg
Digital Fabrication in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry requires the seamless integration of diverse tools and software across various domains. COMPAS, a comprehensive open-source computational framework in Python, simplifies the integration of cutting-edge tools and streamlines multi-disciplinary workflows, making it easier for architects, designers, and researchers to adopt them within parametric design settings.
In this 2-day workshop, Gonzalo Casas of Gramazio Kohler Research – ETH will introduce participants to the COMPAS framework, showcasing its core functionality, extension packages, and compatibility with Rhino 3D. Participants will then collaboratively explore a hands-on example focused on robotic fabrication of a discrete assembly guided step-by-step.
Schedule (tentative):
Day 0 – Optional (COMPAZ) – 24. Mai 2023
