The Radford Group at DMU: Mega Scale Rapid Manufacturing in Architecture

Mega Scale Rapid Manufacturing in ARCHITECTURE

The

RADFORD GROUP

Developments in digital 3D printing of solid objects offer exciting possibilities for the future architectural design. Students studying on the Bachelor of Architecture (BArch) course have been developing concept designs and construction processes that are intended to exploit the potential of this new technology at a large scale.
