An Exploration of Audio-Generated 3D Printed Toolpaths
































Surface Explorations
itself around a specific geometry. In this case, this surface treatment made us question
certain geometric manipulations that we can take forward to the final proposal.

Toolpath Explorations
In the following phase, we aimed to explore the possibilities that robotic clay printing
can provide with regard to toolpaths. Being able to manipulate the toolpath allowed
us to generate various types of textures and smaller geometries that contribute to the
complexity of the final piece.
