fab-cade

Building on previous and current work, this research utilises the Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) process to produce mass customised, double-curved (both positive and negative Gaussian curvature), three-dimensional forms from sheet metal. These forms are produced at a scale that suggests their use as cladding elements in a building envelope. This, combined with the relative speed and efficiency of production and the variability of resultant geometries, allows for speculation on the production of high performance façade systems directly from digital models.
