Robotic coreless filament winding with natural fibres and bio-based resin systems offers potential solutions to address productivity and sustainability challenges in the construction sector. Their use in modular, prefabricated structures enables efficient, controlled, and eco-friendly production, yielding high-quality building components with minimal production waste. Plant fibres like flax provide good strength and stiffness while requiring less non-renewable energy compared to traditional fibres like glass or carbon. This research focuses on the use and implementation of flax fibre for coreless filament wound structural components by describing the conceptualization, design, fabrication, and assembly of a full-scale architectural demonstrator, the livMats Pavilion.
