Paper title: xit - sit by kit
Authors: Grabfelder, Jörg
Summary: The aim of my individual thesis is to create a puzzle-like furniture kit containing a variety of connections which allows wide scope of combinations. By following of a certain code, the user can create different usage possibilities of a single unit. Starting with a modelplate with dimensions of 1m * 1m * 0.15m, containing slots, notches and openings, a puzzle is created. The parts, which are supposed to be assembled without using of any tools, are marked with a special code, which helps with the assembly of different variations.As an addition to the groupwork, I’d like to go more in-depth in CNC-connection research. The main premises for my individual thesis is building with machines, material testing and experiments with connection systems.Finally, some studies for an user-interface are going to be made. It should give the user a possibility to implement individual parameters, like the art of material, dimensions and function. The output furniture unit is going to be rendered on the screen.
