DigiPure
Digital design and manufacturing methods for light and pure timber constructions with bent wood
The DigiPure project aims to advance sustainable timber construction by utilising digital design and manufacturing techniques that incorporate bent wood, creating efficient, adhesive-free structures. Key goals include promoting the use of deciduous trees in construction, enhancing resource efficiency and integrating digital processes within timber production. This approach supports ecological forestry practices and aims to develop structures with minimised waste and reduced environmental impact.
The project focuses on developing adaptable methods and technologies, such as parametric modelling and CNC machining, to handle complex wood shapes, bending and joining without adhesives or metals. Objectives include establishing an adaptable manufacturing process, integrating robotics into production and showcasing these techniques through a demonstrator structure.
