This project showcases a novel methodology of multiplanar robotic tube bending, exploring further development possibilities and utilization in an undergraduate elective seminar, which arguably served as a micro design-build (Figure 1). As the challenges of contemporary practice grow to include the integration of digital technology and fabrication methods, the ability to synthesize these tools into a productive creative process is a growing pedagogical concern. Tricia Stuth outlines this in her writing on embedded knowledge, Second Nature: 鈥淒esign-build impels students to synthesize design and technology and begin to embed skills and knowledge that ultimately give rise to intuitive understanding of technical concepts.鈥 1
