1. Precision: Computational design software can help designers and architects to create and visualize precise digital models that can be easily modified and tested before fabrication. This can help reduce wastage of resources and materials.
2. Efficiency: Using digital fabrication tools, it is possible to automate the process of creating complex geometries, thereby reducing the time and effort required in the manufacturing of building components.
3. Flexibility: By using digital fabrication tools, buildings can be customized according to the specific needs and preferences of the users, and even adapted to changes in the environment and usage patterns over time.
4. Sustainability: The use of renewable and recyclable materials, as well as the efficient use of energy and resources, can be facilitated by the use of computational design and digital fabrication tools.
5. Cost-effectiveness: By optimizing the design and manufacturing process, computational design and digital fabrication can help reduce the overall cost of building sustainable communities.
6. Collaboration: Digital tools also enable more efficient collaboration among stakeholders, including architects, builders, and residents, leading to better and more effective decision-making and implementation.
