Robotic fabrication allows creative users to return to taking full control of the fabrication and
to provide local products, thus reducing emissions as well as “brain drain”, when important fabrication knowledge has to be
handed over to external partners. Similarly, by offering customizable products, small and medium sized enterprises can differentiate
themselves from larger, multinational companies who lack the flexibility to respond to the end-user’s individual requirements.
The process also responds to the current lack of skilled labor, with the robot enabling craftsmen to put their material knowledge
into customized robotic processes, thus multiplying their output capacity. On the other hand, the use of robots and machines
shows that craftsmanship is also relevant in a modern, technology-heavy society and will ideally encourage youths to work
in these fields in larger numbers.
