Abstract
A reciprocal frame (RF) is a self-supported three-dimensional structure made up of three or more sloping rods, which form a closed circuit, namely an RF unit. Although this structure can be easily implemented in a computer, it relies on external joints in the actual construction. This project aims to explore building RF-structure using interlocking integral joints using robotic fabrication. We developed an optimization program to guarantee the co-linearity of touched joints along with each stick while preserving the geometric properties of the RF structure. To verify the proposed, a wooden shell is built.
