The project developed by the Digital Fabrication Group at the Bern University of Applied Sciences explores how centuries-old woodcraft traditions can be reinterpreted through digital technologies. The installation features a robotic arm that assembles and disassembles a customizable wooden shingle facade in real-time. Visitors use a digital interface to select shingle patterns, which are instantly translated into robotic motion, allowing them to witness the assembly process live

As part of the DIA Master’s Program at Hochschule Anhalt, a group of students explored the potential of computational design and robotic manufacturing by creating a full-scale, waffle-structured ergonomic chair. The project was developed in the elective course Robotic Manufacturing, led by Prof. Juanfra García Guillén, and later exhibited during Campus Fest 2025 in Dessau.

Clipping and sectioning are essential tasks in Rhino for highlighting specific parts of your design or creating detailed documentation. Rhino offers powerful tools that allow you to manage sections and clipped views efficiently. In this guide, we explore a workflow using the SectionTools plugin (now called Clipping Section) to streamline your Rhino 8 or later projects.
