Can digital fabrication help reduce construction waste?

Yes, digital fabrication can help reduce construction waste by reducing material waste, decreasing the need for manual labor and reducing construction time. With digital fabrication, construction components can be pre-fabricated offsite using computer-aided manufacturing techniques to create precise and accurate components. This increases the efficiency of the construction process and reduces the amount of waste generated on-site. Digital fabrication also allows for more sustainable materials to be used as the manufacturing process can be precisely controlled to minimize waste and reduce the use of virgin materials. Overall, digital fabrication can help reduce construction waste and create more sustainable buildings and infrastructure.
