A system for supporting workpieces during machining. The system comprises one or more adjustable workpiece support assemblies and a robotic unit. Each workpiece support assembly comprises a pedestal and a rotatable fixture element. The robotic assembly comprises means of mobilizing and immobilizing each support assembly, so that the fixture element may be secured in a particular orientation. The robotic unit moves along a frame, and manipulates and fixes the position of the fixture elements to match the contour of a workpiece. Vacuum forces may be applied through the workpiece support assemblies to secure the workpiece against the fixture elements.

Buildings are constructed using the tilt-up technique from concrete elements that have contours that are at least partially curved. The concrete elements are made by casting in molds. The molds are assembled from mold pieces selected in a kit that contains a limited set of shapes. Molds assembled differently can produce concrete elements with a large variety of contour shapes.

An atypical-molded-body manufacturing device according to the present invention comprises at least one shape output unit comprising a plurality of movable rods provided to be able to move up and down and arranged along a first direction. A driving module transfers a driving force to the movable rods, thereby moving each of the plurality of movable rods to a predetermined height. An atypical curvature is formed by a difference in level configured by the upper end of each of the plurality of movable rods that have moved to the predetermined height.

The invention relates to a system for connecting textile-reinforced structural modules along a connecting edge (76) having an edge groove (74) comprising yarn loops (4). According to the invention, the system comprises a wedge element (410) and two shell elements (420) having a keyway (422) and is provided for insertion into the two edge grooves (74) having overlapping yarn loops (4), wherein further the wedge element (410) is provided for partial extraction from the two oppositely arranged keyways (422) so that the shell elements (420) can be spread away from each other by wedge action and the yarn loops (4) can be pulled together. The invention further relates to an apparatus and a method for producing a textile reinforcement (10) comprising a yarn (2) arranged within a base frame (100) or for producing a textile-reinforced structural module (72) comprising the textile reinforcement (10) and a curable material, wherein a freely formable shaping device (200) is provided on which the structural module is formed. According to the invention, the textile reinforcement (10) can be formed between yarn holding devices (130, 180) arrangeable on bendable frame strips (110). The invention also relates to a concrete component comprising connected concrete structural modules and a printer description file, and a yarn deposition file.
