  • Essay / The impact of digital manufacturing on construction...

    IntroductionDigital manufacturing is coming to the construction industry to create complex and precisely designed buildings in response to the new competitive environment and market demands of construction. Thanks to technological advancements, the good revolution is visible in most industrial activities. Almost all industrial sectors are trying to keep abreast of new related innovations to boost their sustainable growth. However, unfortunately, architects and construction engineers have been more conservative despite all the massive global investment in the construction sector. This conservative trend began several years after great prosperity and success in other industries. As an example, compared to the more developed automotive industry, the construction industry has weighed the pros and cons of automation, and it is still under development. Despite some limitations and lack of information during the 1980s and even 1990s, the current status indicates good progress. Today, most architectural design is no longer possible without computer technologies. Models have become more complex and require advanced tools to understand design codes and implement manufacturing processes. It can be said that advanced automated tools with a user-friendly programming system can bring incredible solutions to architects and construction engineers. Many researchers have carried out important studies to consider all the possibilities and limitations of digital design-build in various types of procedures. Advanced CNC manufacturing tools and 3D printing machines have brought notable improvements to the construction industry. The benefits of this new approach have been developed over the years to increase...... middle of paper ......nted Construction ProcessWhen trying to design automated construction systems, all parameters of a Construction processes must be integrated precisely and constantly to satisfy the parties involved, and finally, the quality of construction materials and products in terms of geometry, physical aspects and design will be changed. To achieve the goals of automated construction, all of the following aspects must be met: - Aesthetic and design freedom - Determination of production costs before execution of work - Determination of production time before execution of work - Guarantee and transparency price - Continuous production - Definition of quality - Quality control and transparency (ref) Thanks to advanced technology and robotic systems, all these aspects can be taken into account through data integration and programming processes.
