AR-211: Stereotomy

La Stéréotomie est l'art de concevoir et fabriquer des volumes complexes en pierre et des assemblages en bois. Ce cours propose une réinterprétation de la Stéréotomie avec différents outils, une réflexion sur la géométrie, les processus de fabrication, les ...

Description

This lecture covers the assembly process after machining, including identifying and preparing connection pieces, removing burrs for safety, and organizing the assembly based on markings. The instructor demonstrates how to position and secure the connections using friction and clamps, ensuring proper alignment and contact between panels. The final steps involve checking the connections, adjusting as needed, and using a mallet for a secure fit, leading to the completion of a structure ready for further assembly.

Machining

Machining is a process in which a material (often metal) is cut to a desired final shape and size by a controlled material-removal process. The methods that have this common theme are collectively called subtractive manufacturing, which utilizes machine tools, in contrast to additive manufacturing (3D printing), which uses controlled addition of material. Machining is a part of the manufacture of many metal products, but it can also be used on other materials such as wood, plastic, ceramic, and composite material.

Sequence alignment

In bioinformatics, a sequence alignment is a way of arranging the sequences of DNA, RNA, or protein to identify regions of similarity that may be a consequence of functional, structural, or evolutionary relationships between the sequences. Aligned sequences of nucleotide or amino acid residues are typically represented as rows within a matrix. Gaps are inserted between the residues so that identical or similar characters are aligned in successive columns.

Milling (machining)

Milling is the process of machining using rotary cutters to remove material by advancing a cutter into a workpiece. This may be done by varying directions on one or several axes, cutter head speed, and pressure. Milling covers a wide variety of different operations and machines, on scales from small individual parts to large, heavy-duty gang milling operations. It is one of the most commonly used processes for machining custom parts to precise tolerances. Milling can be done with a wide range of machine tools.

Assembly language

In computer programming, assembly language (alternatively assembler language or symbolic machine code), often referred to simply as assembly and commonly abbreviated as ASM or asm, is any low-level programming language with a very strong correspondence between the instructions in the language and the architecture's machine code instructions. Assembly language usually has one statement per machine instruction (1:1), but constants, comments, assembler directives, symbolic labels of, e.g.
