LABDay at the Collaborative Research Centre AMC
LABDay at the Collaborative Research Centre AMC What possibilities does 3D printing offer for architecture and for the entire construction industry? What can this new technology do and how can it be used creatively? The AMC LABDay was initiated to get to the bottom of these questions with school students. In this one-day workshop, pupils learn details about the digital fabrication process from design to production. The special feature: the school students can digitally design an object themselves and this object is then printed on site by a robot. The first workshop was already a great success. The participants were able to directly participate in creative design, augmented reality, software and robotic 3D printing production. Find out more about the …
