We raised a glass at NEST at Empa to mark the conclusion of the NCCR Digital Fabrication — twelve years of groundbreaking research that has fundamentally changed how we think about building. What started as a bold vision has grown into a global community, with researchers, practitioners, and collaborators now spread across the world. Back in 2014, when we started, the science was ambitious. The results which we’ve become to see and that now are being transferred into industry are tangible and real. A heartfelt thank you to the Schweizerischer Nationalfonds SNF for their trust and support throughout this journey — and to every member of the #DFAB community who brought their curiosity, rigour, and passion to this work. This chapter may be closing, but the ideas we developed together are already shaping what comes next. Here's to digital fabrication — and to the people who built it. With a special shoutout to the NCCR DFAB Director Philippe Block, Deputy Director Robert Flatt and Managing Director Russell Loveridge. And to the NCCR DFAB Management team Blanca H., Kaitlin McNally, Lea K., René Jähne, Jonathan Leu, Philippe Fleischmann and Michael Lyrenmann.
