蘇黎世聯邦理工學院的研究人員，在木架構的構築流程之中嘗試了嶄新的數位工法，這是世界上第一個機械手臂參與大型木構協作的實際案例。這些承重的木頭模組，預先由機械手臂所組裝，之後將會組立在 DFAB HOUSE 最上面的兩層空間。
Researchers from ETH Zurich are using a new method for digital timber construction in a real project for the first time. The load-bearing timber modules, which are prefabricated by robots, will be assembled on the top two floors at the DFAB HOUSE construction site.
傳統的木頭框架構築，因為機械編程的介入而有更多的可能性。

數位化介入木頭的構築由來已久，以木材本體為例，整個單元都已經仰賴電腦輔助系統所製造。原些材料被機器切割成確切的大小，但在多數的情況下，它仍然必須透過手動的方式組裝，成為一個平面的框架。在過去，這樣的製造過程存在許多幾何的限制。
Digitalisation has found its way into timber construction, with entire elements already being fabricated by computer-aided systems. The raw material is cut to size by the machines, but in most cases it still has to be manually assembled to create a plane frame. In the past, this fabrication process came with many geometric restrictions.
