The Circular Factory (CF) was founded in 2020 as an agile micro-factory specialized in computational technologies and advanced manufacturing to offer on-site and near-site digital fabrication capabilities for the construction industry. CF brings cutting edge digital fabrication technologies to old school SME industry players to augment and allow them to be active players in ever more digitized construction industry. The development of CF and its corresponding cyber-physical fabrication platform for complex timber products advocates for the democratization of digital manufacturing tools and techniques, upskills local labour and disseminates the use of efficient and sustainable digital fabrication techniques
