Experimental-computational methodology improves bamboo bending accuracy, suggesting a blend of craft and technology.

The study aims to develop a parametric framework for bamboo bending that incorporates material-specific geometry and craftsmanship insights.
Conducted manual geometric measurements on twenty-one Gigantochloa apus specimens.
Used parametric scripting in Rhinoceros/Grasshopper to create bending models.
Evaluated curvature-driven and craft-informed methods through full-scale bending experiments.
Generalized morphological datasets were inadequate for accurate predictions of curvature.
Element-specific geometric input improved bending accuracy and reproducibility.
Incorporating stable cut width reduced variability while maintaining adaptive material response.
