I-Y Branching Structure

Robotic Hotwire Cutting of I-Y Topologies

Y- I ” branching prototype at Hybrid Assembly, Design to robotic production studio. Exploiting the constraints and potentialities of ruled based topologis, differentiation at multiple levels allows for materialization of multi-dimensional twisting and bending. Variation in the directionality of the embedded joints in each “Y-I” element controls the Degree of the Freedom of each component in the structure.
