2002 - Automation of Whole House Construction Using Contour Crafting
This project addresses a novel construction automation approach using a layered fabrication process called Contour Crafting (CC). The process aims at automated construction of whole houses as well as sub-components, in which a single house or a colony of houses can have the possibility of a different design or the home(s) may be automatically constructed in a single run.
