Abstract
Digital fabrication is the revolution in construction industries, enabling the design possibility of optimum and complex structural elements with mass customization and minimal material utilization. Topology optimization and digital fabrication are interdependent. The utilization of digital fabrication in topology optimization ensures the optimality of topology optimized structure and vice versa. The combination of digital fabrication and topology optimization enables the generation of lightweight structures with low material consumption. The complex topology optimized structure can be fabricated using digital fabrication. However, the structural efficacy of digitally fabricated structures is low. The optimal selection of reinforcement, assembly, and formwork helps to increase the structural efficacy of digitally fabricated structures. The authors, in this review, provide an overview and outlook of different digital fabrication techniques and their potential. Moreover, it highlights the optimal selection of digital fabrication techniques for manufacturing topology-optimized structures without manufacturing-driven constraints.
