Today's construction industry is characterised by outdated methods that are not just inefficient but also environmentally taxing, unsustainable, and perilous. Yet, it stands at a pivotal juncture. Government regulations demand drastic reductions in CO2 emissions. While digital fabrication found its spotlight in artistic ventures and pavilion creations, mainstream construction processes often overlooked its transformative power. Digital fabrication, with its precision and efficiency, can be the answer, heralding a new era for the construction world.
