Digital Design and Robotic Production of 3D Shaped Precast Components

Multifunctional robotic production cells were first applied in the prefabrication of concrete floor panels and later for wall and roof panels. The next step was to design and produce not only flat panels but also 3 dimensionally curved panels, in which each panel had 3 dimensionally varying curvatures. The technological progress of robotics allows recently the digital design and production of highly customized facades.
