Abstract

Digital fabrication has increasingly become part of people’s daily lives, driven
by compatibility with technical drawing and 3D modeling software. This article was
created with the aim of investigating the use of digital fabrication processes with
additive technologies in the production of models and prototypes of joints for flat and
cylindrical elements, with a focus on their application in furniture, decorative objects,
and lightweight architectural structures. The methodological procedures adopted in
the research explore digital manufacturing technologies, parametric modeling
software, and conventional woodworking processes for the experimental production of
geometric and organic connection elements, thereby seeking to make use of small
pieces of trimmed and turned raw wood, bamboo, and other compatible materials. The
research significantly contributes to the understanding of the possibilities and
limitations of these technologies, highlighting the importance of sustainability and
innovation in product design. Accepted for publication in the Transverso Journal
