CNC milling seems to be the only way to deal with complex structures in timber construction, despite its inefficiency in both material and time. Robotic band saw cutting has been proved to be an alternative solution for producing double-curved beams with high accuracy and efficiency. Despite its great potential, the processing capacity of robotic band saw has not been systematically explored. This research aims to develop a design and production framework for double-curved glulam through an in-depth research of robotic band saw cutting technique. Theoretical and experimental analyses were carried out to gain a deep understanding of its processing capabilities. A curvature-based design approach of glulam was proposed, together with a construction system that allow for optimized subdivision and connection, which has been further tested through a glulam installation. This research shows the possibility to integrate the capabilities of robotic band saw in early stage as driving factors for innovative timber structure design.

尽管在材料和时间上效率低下，CNC铣削似乎是处理木材结构中复杂结构的唯一方法。事实证明，机器人带锯切割是生产高精度和高效率双曲线梁的替代解决方案。尽管具有巨大的潜力，但尚未系统地探索自动带锯的加工能力。本研究旨在通过对机械带锯切割技术的深入研究，为双弯曲胶合层开发设计和生产框架。进行了理论和实验分析，以加深对其处理能力的了解。提出了一种基于曲率的胶合木设计方法，以及一种可优化细分和连接的构造系统，已通过胶合木安装进一步测试。这项研究表明，可以将早期的自动带锯功能整合为创新木材结构设计的驱动因素。
