In the last decade, research interest in digital stereotomy has been renewed, with efficiency as a popular objective. However, along with a mainstream focus on full customization, comes a paradox of efficient design yet inefficient fabrication. Provoked by this situation, the potential of modular stereotomy is explored here. By utilizing a parametric design approach and rapid additive prototyping method, sequential experiments were executed to test seventy variations of units. As a result, a clear workflow and an optimized design were generated and used to form a modular stereotomy construction. Finally, efficiency was achieved from three standpoints: main material efficiency through complete modularity, supporting material efficiency through total elimination of shims and up to 91% reduction in falsework, and material use-value maximization through an easy assembly of form and a selection of up to six different constructional strategies to build arches with similar shape and volume.

在过去的十年中，人们对数字立体切开术的研究兴趣重新燃起，效率是一个流行的目标。然而，随着对完全定制的主流关注，出现了高效设计而低效制造的悖论。受这种情况的启发，这里探讨了模块化立体切开术的潜力。通过利用参数化设计方法和快速增材成型方法，执行连续实验以测试 70 种单元的变化。因此，生成了清晰的工作流程和优化的设计，并用于形成模块化立体切开构造。最后，从三个角度实现了效率：通过完全模块化实现的主要材料效率，通过完全消除垫片来支持材料效率以及减少高达 91% 的脚手架，
