COURSE: ARCH 571 (Advanced Digital Fabrications) FALL 2022
PROFESSOR: Glenn Wilcox
PROGRAMS/ TOOLS USED: Kuka robot, welding, Heavy Duty Singer sewing machine, grommet tool kit
PROJECT BRIEF:
The goal of this project was to design and construct a prototypical stool design combining two materials and processes. Toof is a blend of hard and soft, a combination of robotically bent (Kuka robot with Super Matter Tools - SMT) steel rod, sewn fabric (Heavy Duty Singer), silver grommets, and paracord.

MATERIALS:
- BASE : 1/4 inch steel rod (28 feet)
- CUSHION: vinyl (6 yards), 5/32 inch polyester fabric (8 yards), paracord, 1/4 inch grommet kit (x2) , 2 inch high density foam (x2)
- BASE : 1/4 inch steel rod (28 feet)
- CUSHION: vinyl (6 yards), 5/32 inch polyester fabric (8 yards), paracord, 1/4 inch grommet kit (x2) , 2 inch high density foam (x2)
1 yard = 3 feet (ft) = 0.9144 m
1 inch = 2.54 cm
1 inch = 2.54 cm
The stool can be sat on with or without its “cushion” system in place. When sat on as is in its simplest form the plumpness or lack there of of one’s bottom is put on full display. The level or comfort of discomfort a user experiences can vary greatly, depending on one’s height and weight.
