BENDSCAPE results from a two-semester work by the students in Machining PRAXIS in Architecture I & II, at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna’s Institute of Architecture. In this study, the students began learning the processes of 3-axis machining and developed their expertise by experimenting with wood bending techniques based on subtraction. During this […]

students designs and visualizations from the course Techniques and Tools for Digital Production 1
some of the results of the course “Digitales Entwerfen und Digitale Produktion / Editing 4” Winterterm 2016 Based on a 3D-Scan of one of their own body parts, students had to develop a second customized skin that adds to their body without limiting movement and function. some of the students visualizations in the following and […]
official course description, modalities and sign-up -> Techniques and Tools for Digital Production 1 Wether interior space or urban square, designed space is the fundamental theme in architecture. The relationship between the inside and the outside is articulated through architecture and therefore the interdependent effect of the enclosed elements and the enclosing elements is one of […]

Some of the results of the course “Digitales Entwerfen und Digitale Produktion / Editing 4” Winterterm 2015 Students had to digitally develop a lamp-shade based on a chosen gastropod shell. After an intensive geometrical shape and growth analysis of the shell each developed a parametric model in Rhinoceros 5.0 + Grasshopper. To build a working […]
Mainly depending on the material you want to use for the final product, but also the type and size of the shape you want to (re-)produce there are different ways of setting up a suitable mold. In the following a collection of informative videos to get you started (as the materials used in the videos are from […]
DIGITAL | PRODUCTION DIGITAL | PAPERCRAFT paper craft…is (according to wikipedia) the collection of art forms employing paper or card as the primary artistic medium for the creation of three-dimensional objects. It lends itself to a wide range of techniques, as it can for instance be folded, bend, cut, glued, molded, stitched, or layered. the […]

Use one of the following template Files to produce the necessary GCode to run our CNC HotWire Cutter! Each Definition comes with a 5.0 Rhinofile for setting up your geometry and a Grasshopper Definition to produce the GCode. In case one of them or both are not self-explinatory to you, stop by the experimenal lab and […]
The Trotec Speedy 500 is a 120W CO2 CNC Laser Cutting machine for cutting plate materials. The machine can cut a variety of materials like Acrylics and Cardboard up to a thickness of 10mm. For cutting operations 2d vector Data from CAD and graphics Software can be used, reliefs so called “engravings” can be created […]

The DDPLab of the IoA is co-hosting one of this year’s urban strategies summer schools IMPRINTPROCESSES instructs to produce, calibrate, operate and hack their own 3D printers. Special attention is given to the individual printers´ behaviours. The summerschool relates experiments and their emergent physical manifestations with the material processes of the urban fabric, and has a […]
The DDPLab is equipped with one “PC-CUT Standard” machine from StepFour. Originally used for the model-airplane-industry with a cumbersome MSDOS-based cutting software we hacked it to be operated with MACH3. The gcode now can directly be produced out of Grasshopper an parametric scripting plugin for Rhinoceros 5.0 The CNC Hot-Wire-Cutter has a maximum cut volume […]
