Timber joinery for large buildings using robotic fabrication

Timber joinery for large buildings using robotic fabrication

Research around the use of computer numerical control (CNC) cut joinery to connect elements in timber buildings.

This is how we do it…

These images give an idea of the process for computer numerical control (CNC) cutting timber joinery into large engineered wood products. Here a dovetail joint is cut with a cross-laminated timber (CLT) mortise and a laminated veneer lumber (LVL) tenon, to create a test specimen to investigate the strength of the connection and how it fails.
