NCCR Digital Fabrication

initiated in 2014, the national centre of competence in research (nccr) digital fabrication aims to revolutionise architecture through the seamless combination of digital technologies and physical building processes. over 60 researchers from six different academic disciplines collaborate to develop ground-breaking technologies for tomorrow's construction. their research allows switzerland to take a leading position within the global field of digital fabrication. the nccr digital fabrication is the first nccr focused on architecture and construction funded by the swiss national science foundation (snsf). initiated at eth zurich, it is partnered with epf lausanne, empa and the berne university of applied sciences. nccrs are cross-disciplinary research networks funded by the swiss national science foundation (snsf). they support research in areas of strategic importance for the future of swiss science, economy and society.
