    Building industry trends for high-performance architecture, reductions in the skilled construction trades and increased use of building information modelling point towards a big change in building design and construction. As a result, designers and contractors have been influenced by advanced fabrication techniques. Off-site pre-fabrication, on-site robotic assembly and large-scale 3D printing are just a few of the envisioned opportunities. Through the symposium, our goal is to connect manufacturers, academics, contractors and designers in the Carolinas and encourage the adoption of advanced manufacturing processes in regional projects.
    The conference is a unique opportunity for technology leaders to:
    • Share ideas and insights with industry peers and users
    • Explore and test the latest trends and technologies
    • Share technologies used on real-world projects
    • Network with experts in your field
    • Tour digital fabrication labs
