In this project a novel methodology is proposed for digital workflow and fabrication of freeform shell structures made from foam materials utilizing robot hot-wire cutting tool. Methodology for design and fabrication of freeform foam structures may be utilized for fabrication of structural insulated panels for double-curved walls as well as for concrete cast molds.

More information about scientific research can be found in the article Robotic fabrication of freeform foam structures with quadrilateral and puzzle shaped panels.
