The newly renovated Michigan Fabrication Lab (FAB Lab) at University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning leverages state-of-the-art industrial technology to perform architectural fabrication research and representation. Taubman College is one of a few select academic institutions around the world utilizing robotic automation to perform both subtractive machining and automated assembly processes. These technologies recently permeated the architectural-fabrication industry.
