rolyPOLY: A Hybrid Prototype For Digital Craft

The recent introduction of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) based simulation tools and robotic fabrication has opened potentials in not only design, but also in full-scale testing in architectural applications. CFRP’s unique properties such as high strength to weight ratio, malleability during fabrication as well as the capacity to create complex yet precise forms while minimizing waste through reconfigurable formworks allow for a high-level of precision and adaptability in architectural applications that traditional construction methodologies cannot afford.
