Design And Build Your House On A Computer

<b> by Anthony Falco</b>As any new homeowner can tell you, building a house can be a pain. But what if a robot could build the home of your dreams? In Switzerland, that might just happen</a>.A team of eight scientists from ETH Zurich University in Switzerland are building a three-story house using only robots and 3D printers. The team claims the project, known as “DFAB House</a>,” is the first home to be designed, planned, built using primarily digital processes.The project is unlike other 3D-printed houses</a>. Instead of using just one construction method, “DFAB House” brings together several digital-building technologies. For instance, a robot, standing over 6 feet tall, is mounted on caterpillar tracks and lays a mesh framework for the house’s concrete walls. Then, a 3D sand printer created a ceiling slab for the home.Once “DFAB House” is completed next summer, it will serve as a residence for ETH Zurich researchers.
