ROBOTIC FABRICATION

Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM)

Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM)

The lab develops innovative manufacturing and fabrication approaches through research and experimentation with industrial robotics. Over the last eight years, the lab has developed a series of innovative robotic approaches and is a world leader in the development of large-scale polymer printing.

Our current research has a strong focus on additive manufacturing. We are testing a diverse range of emerging materials to be 3D printed and applied to the architectural field. These materials include recycled plastics, biodegradable composites, resins, and metals.
