driven architectural design, including acoustics. Unlike conventional treatments, which are standardized and introduced post-construction, AM enables acoustic customization within the design process. AM also introduces the possibility of fabricating hybrid components that integrate both absorption and scattering within a single element.
This research investigates whether toolpath design in large-nozzle AM can serve as a mechanism for hybrid acoustic performance. Through three progressive phases, toolpath strategies are developed for absorption at specimen scale, translated to panel-scale hybrid components combining absorption with optimized scattering surfaces, and extended to robotic fabrication toward architectural scale. The research contributes toolpath strategies, fabrication algorithms, and an integrated workflow that positions the toolpath as an acoustic design tool.
