TailorCrete
The objective of TailorCrete is to develop and demonstrate a radically new concept in producing unique, tairlor-made concrete structures with complex geometries using an industrialised and cost effective approach based on robots, ICT and advanced concrete technology. The innovative aspect will be to produce concrete formwork directly from the architect CAD drawings, and thereby allow new and front-end architecture in normal housing with no extra costs for the citizen.
