Presented by Timothy Wangler, ETH Zurich; and Ena Lloret, Norman Hack, and Lex Reiter, ETH Zurich With what has been called the “Third Industrial Revolution” well underway, digital technology is changing the paradigm in manufacturing from “mass production” to “mass customization”. This revolution is now beginning to creep into the construction sector, especially in recent years, with additive manufacturing with cementitious materials promising to revolutionize what is possible to construct by revolutionizing the way construction is performed, all the way from design to realization. At ETH Zurich, in the Chair of Physical Chemistry of Building Materials and Gramazio Kohler Research and under the auspices of the National Centre for Competence in Research in Digital Fabrication in Architecture, research on digital fabrication with concrete has been underway for the past few years. Here we present projects such as Smart Dynamic Casting, in which a moving formwork produces customized linear elements, and the Mesh Mould, in which a robotically constructed steel mesh serves both as formwork and reinforcement. #bitcoin euro realtime #top ai cryptos
