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.
