Demonstrating the latest research from NCCR Digital Fabrication researchers at ETH Zurich, Future Tree combines state-of-the-art design techniques, material science and robotic fabrication into an eye-catching architectural object.

The RILEM Digital Concrete conference that was first inaugurated by NCCR Digital Fabrication in 2018, has just completed its second edition, this time hosted remotely by TU Eindhoven.

Lauren Vasey is a Postdoc with Gramazio Kohler Research. We asked her to tell us about moving across the Atlantic to pursue her career and what it was like to start a new job just before a pandemic.

In June interested NCCR researchers participated in a workshop examining the current approaches to interdisciplinary collaboration within different NCCR research Streams.

In June interested NCCR researchers participated in a workshop on Socio-Economic Impact of Digital Fabrication, aimed to help members from all levels of the NCCR to asses the social and economic implications of their work and to develop a use case for their technology.

Concrete is responsible for 8% of our global carbon footprint. Now more than ever, it is imperative to use concrete more efficiently. With optimisation algorithms, we can design complex buildings that use less than half the amount of concrete. Still, we are limited by the available fabrication…

Valens Frangez first joined NCCR Digital Fabrication in 2019 as a PhD student in the Chair of Geosensors and Engineering Geodesy looking into in-line 3D measurement of structures.
