Abstract

A methodological development of a series of scripts created in Dynamo for Revit, aimed at improving workflows in prefabricated additive construction projects, is presented. Through a case study involving the construction of houses using 3D printing, automated solutions were explored to optimize the process from architectural design in BIM to the physical execution of the project. The results highlight how the integration of these digital tools can accelerate the design time in the manufacturing of prefabricated components, thereby demonstrating the potential of BIM for prefabricated additive construction.
