System can 3-D print an entire building

Published on Apr 26, 2017


The list of materials that can be produced by 3-D printing has grown to include not just plastics but also metal, glass, and even food. Now, MIT researchers are expanding the list further, with the design of a system that can 3-D print the basic structure of an entire building.

"3-D printing offers new approach to making buildings (http://news.mit.edu/2017/3-d-printing-buildings-0426)"
Technology developed at MIT could enable faster, cheaper, more adaptable building construction.

Neri Oxman's swarm of Fiberbots autonomously build architectural structures

Published on Oct 5, 2018


Neri Oxman and her Mediated Matter group at MIT have created a swarm of robots designed to rapidly build high-strength tubular structures by winding fibreglass filament around themselves.

Oxman and her team have developed a digital fabrication system, comprised of 16 robots and a separate design system used to control them.

Each robot in the swarm is identical and works simultaneously, using a fibreglass winding system to autonomously construct self-supporting composite tubes up to 4.5 metres tall.
