About Discussions Projects6 Journals17 Publications2

Digital fabrication encompasses the technologies and methodologies that bridge computational design with physical production. This includes 3D printing, robotic construction, CNC machining, and other automated manufacturing processes that translate digital models into built outcomes.

The community explores open-source fabrication equipment, parametric design workflows, robotic assembly systems for construction, and how digital tools reshape the relationship between design intent and material production across scales from small objects to building facades.

Blackbox open source 3D Printer

Blackbox is a high-end approach to open source 3D Printing. Due to the basic design principle of material suitability and the combination of high-tech materials with composite FDM materials, Blackbox reaches high speeds with a large print volume while still being accessible for ambitious makers. The watercooled printheads allow true multimaterial printing.

Funemployed TM

In an effort to replenish Earth's natural resources, AI has created a new facility to keep humans distracted from harming the planet. Your job at Funemployed is to participate in a mass research initiative studying human behavior and market incentive. Through a combination of Virtual Reality and tangible objects users are able to do anything and everything.

Precise Imprecision

Flexible Construction with Robotic Fabric Formwork Precise Imprecision defines a new robotic construction technique through stack casting fabric molds by KUKA industrial robot and human, and re-defines "precise" and "imprecise" in digital fabrication.

Dynacrowd Laboratories

This visualization for the integration of human interaction with artificial intelligence creates a blend between a traditional shopping center and manufacturing plant-- but with a twist. The facility implements a dynamic crowd-sourcing process in which humans test a variety of prototypes while AI uses their reactions to produce more attractive products.

Factory[n]Certainty

Factory[n]Certainty reimagines the textile factory as a human-centered, adaptive ecosystem where work, living, and leisure coexist. Inspired by William Morris, Cedric Price, and Constant, it combines modular architecture, environmental optimization, and AI simulations to create a scalable industrial landscape that prioritizes community, flexibility.

Multi-robotic construction system for unfired soil masonry

Here we present a construction method that makes use of ground mobile robots to fabricate earth structures from in-situ available granular material through the deposition of soil viscous paste, a medium that, with the employment of specific digital tools, provides flexibility, ease of manipulation and sustainable applications.
