About Discussions Projects5 Journals6

Robotic fabrication encompasses the use of automated systems, robotic arms, and digital tools to manufacture building components and architectural elements. This approach combines precision machinery with design innovation to explore new possibilities in construction and material processing.

The community examines robotic construction methods across scales, from 3D printing and timber fabrication to multi-robotic masonry systems and facade production. Members investigate how automation enables sustainable practices, challenges traditional making processes, and creates opportunities for complex geometries and material experimentation.

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.

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.

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.
