UBC – Design for Manufacturing and Assembly Workshop – Mass Timber

The Centre for Advanced Wood Processing (CAWP) at the University of British Columbia (UBC) is pleased to announce the Mass Timber – Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) workshop. This 3-day workshop will be led by UBC – School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture and UBC – CAWP. Industry leaders in mass-timber design, engineering, fabrication and installation will be supporting the workshop with lectures and case-studies. Participants will be guided through the process of designing mass-timber projects with the consideration of manufacturing technologies.

The use of digital technology in design and manufacturing are aiding the realization of mass-timber projects. The participants will be supported through a design-build exercise utilizing Computer Aided Design (CAD) software for design and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software for manufacturing of components. The project will culminate with the fabrication of components and the assembly of a mass-timber structure.
