"A New Parametric Design Tool for Robot Milling";
Talk: ACADIA-conference (Association of CAD in Architecture), New York; 10-21-2010 - 10-24-2010; in: "ACADIA 2010: LIFE in:formation, On Responsive Information and Variations in Architecture", (2010), ISBN: 978-1-4507-3471-4; 357 - 363.

This paper proposes the use of parametric design software, which is generally used for real time analysis and evaluation of architectural design variants, to create a new production immanent design tool for robot milling. Robotic constraints are integrated in the data flow of the parametric model for calculating, visualizing and simulating robot milling toolpaths. As a result of the design process a physical model together with a milling robot control data file is generated.
