“…While, the problem in the assembling part, student encountered many similar objects and wrong numbering object that's what makes students find it challenging to assemble. The workshop tries to respond to this issue using parametric design tools such as rhinoceros and grasshopper [20] [21]. The workshop contains the process of digital design using grasshoppers such as waffle structure and Voronoi structure [15], also optimization phase and preparing the fabrication file for laser cutting.…”

Technological developments in architecture continued such as parametric design methods with computational optimization process and digital fabrication to make a scale model. Digital fabrication defined as the process of manipulating objects using CNC router machines, 3D printers, and laser cutters through reduction or addition methods. This technology believed in providing convenience advantages in making an architectural scale model, which gives more precise results with a faster manufacturing process. Furthermore, the understanding above brings consequences for both the students and lecturers of architecture. For the example in the teaching of technical matters such as the optimization of 3D models for fabricating processes, selecting techniques and materials, and also the installation. So studying digital fabrication is a necessity in architecture academics. Both students and lecturers required to improve their understanding and ability to process digital designs into a representation of scale models through fabrication method. The research purpose is identifying the teaching procedure of digital fabrication in producing architectural scale models. The method is to analyze the questionnaire from the architecture students that join the workshop. This workshop will introduce a digital fabrication with a computational optimization process using Grasshopper. Architecture student will be given a questionnaire at the beginning and end of the workshop. At the end of studies show that digital fabrication provides convenience and challenges for architecture academics.

“…[22] Merging digital manufacturing methods have the advantage of understanding the machines' working area and the permissible range of variation in the projects dimension, besides understanding the importance of preparing geometry for different fabrication methods. [23] This requires more time to understand deeply the potential applications for prototyping. The combination of three materials with different geometrical aspects of connectivity and three manufacturing techniques add more complexity to the process.…”

This paper examines how the evolution of architectural generative design processes aim to apply similar physical and geometrical principles of biological processes taking place during development and to translate them to fabrication processes. In analogy to the reaction-diffusion mechanism for biological pattern prediction, the logic of stripe is used as construction system and examined for its structural behaviour. Both, mesh relaxation processes and weighted mesh graphs representations are employed as design tools for the construction of a minimal thin shell structural skin with branching topologies. Eventually the design workflow is extended to engage also collaborative fabrication processes and to steer the design based on intuition, knowledge of the fabrication tools, properties of the materials, manufacturing simulations and logic of assemble. This approach could lead to the optimization of material usage and machine time and facilitate the assembly process of a physical object which integrates the whole process into its form. The outcomes have been used to fabricate a prototype, using three different materials and digital fabrication methods, to examine the stability and the mechanical connectivity by taking in count the tolerances. The paper argues that biological skin patterns and segmentation in fabrication open a new field of interdisciplinary investigation and architectural applications.

(Baquero and Orciuoli 2016) "Design has a symbiotic relationship with geometry... This is the shape I have sketched, but how to I formally describe it" versus "This is the formal shape description system I am using, how do I harness and control this system to create the shape I like".…”

This paper examines the evolution of a teaching methodology and agenda of a series of intense workshops deployed and evolved with master students of architectural school. Especially, having the objective of digital manufacturing, merging in one single worklow, designing, materials and CNC methods; Milling, 3D printing and laser cutting. By simulating multiple aspects of developed processes with a bottom up approach the goal was to achieve the establishment of a unique panel based on the knowledge of the tool. The geometrical conigurations require also to take in account tolerances together with machine procedures and material behaviour. The adopted approach implements material and tool intuition into a learning by doing process to steer the design based on material and fabrication methods.
