Nevertheless, these techniques could be applied in engineering processes as well in order to improve the effectiveness and the efficiency of manufacturing processes in BI （building industry）. Focusing on the case study of GLT （glued-laminated timber）, this paper shows the procedure of programming a parametric algorithm adopted by authors that pursues two specific design intents： reducing the usage of unneeded high-quality raw material and improving the efficiency of production processes by producing DF （digital fabrication） contents for standard production systems of GLT. According to different European and international standards, thanks to FEM （finite element model） simulations and curvature analysis, the algorithm allows saving at least 33% of high-quality raw material and, according to early first surveys on a standard production system, 30% of operation time among product engineering-processes.展开更多
