Additive Manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a disruptive technology with the potential to revolutionize the construction industry by integrating digital design with automated manufacturing. This paper presents and extends Fabrication Information Modeling (FIM), a comprehensive framework tailored for automated manufacturing in construction. FIM facil...

Point clouds, image data, and corresponding processing algorithms are intensively investigated to create and enrich Building Information Models (BIM) with as-is information and maintain their value across the building lifecycle. Point clouds can be captured using LiDAR and enriched with color information from images. Complementary to such dual-sens...

As part of the digitization of the AEC industry, the Digital Twin concept is becoming increasingly important. Originating in the manufacturing industry, the concept at its core involves a bidirectional coupling of the physical product and its digital counterpart with the aim of keeping the two in sync. Without appropriate capabilities to realize su...

Digital manufacturing methods have been successfully used in different industries for years and have since had a positive effect on the development of their productivity. These methods offer significantly greater design freedom and make it possible to develop shape-optimized and function-activated components. In the construction industry, however,...

Additive Fertigungsmethoden haben sich schon seit einiger Zeit in sehr verschiedenen Wirtschaftssektoren etabliert und sogar ihren Platz im privaten Hausgebrauch von Hobbytüftlern gesichert. Durch eine steigende Anzahl an Forschungsprojekten, die immer mehr Materialien für den 3D-Druck erschließen und immer mehr Einschränkungen aufheben, ist der 3D...

Additive manufacturing (AM) is no longer a new technology and is already being used profitably in many sectors of the economy. AM is also becoming increasingly popular in the construction industry, and more and more research is focused on unlocking new building materials for AM. As a digital fabrication method, AM provides many new opportunities fo...
