DiffCheck: A scan-CAD evaluation tool for digital manufacturing and assembly processes in timber construction

Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Stefana Parascho, Andrea Settimi

In digital timber construction, scanning technologies and point cloud data are widely used due to the accessibility of affordable 3D sensors, photogrammetry, and userfriendly CAD tools. While typically not employed for accuracy checks in timber fabrication ...

Design method for roundwood construction using database of trees

Yves Weinand

In today's shift from steel and concrete construction toward bio-based materials such as timber, reliance on forests for construction materials is growing. However, concerns are rising regarding the type and amount of wood our forests will produce in the f ...

TTool: A Supervised Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Visual Pose Detector for Tool Heads in Augmented Reality Woodworking

Yves Weinand, Andrea Settimi, Julien Gamerro, Florian Aymanns, Naravich Chutisilp

We present TimberTool (TTool v2.1.1), a software designed for woodworking tasks assisted by augmented reality (AR), emphasizing its essential function of the real-time localization of a tool head’s poses within camera frames. The localization process, a fu ...

The influence of wood surface treatments with different biomolecules on dry and wet strength of linear friction welded joints

Yves Weinand

The moisture resistance of friction-welded wood joints can be improved by applying bio-based bonding additives. Several biomolecules including tannic acid, organosolv lignin from hardwood, kraft lignin from softwood, and derivates thereof, were investigate ...

Geometrical digital twins of the as-built microstructure of three-leaf stone masonry walls with laser scanning

Katrin Beyer, Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Savvas Saloustros, Andrea Settimi, Andrea Cabriada Ascencio

Research on irregular stone masonry walls is hampered by the lack of detailed geometrical models of their internal micro-structure, i.e. the shape and size of each stone and its position within the wall. Without such a geometric digital twin of walls teste ...
