Our Story
The Circular Factory started in 2015 with the aim of developing flexible and adaptable digital fabrication workflows that could bring SMEs into an evermore digitized construction industry.
We started to develop a physical setup enabled by low-cost machinery like industrial robotic arms and an easy to use digital platform within a setup that brings several of the advantages of digitalised construction, at a lower initial capital interest to SMEs
As initial prototype circular Factory (CF) took the challenge to create a digital timber factory on the remote island of Roatan, Honduras, to produce in situ a housing complex designed by Zaha Hadid Architects. The project has the particularity to offer future clients the possibility to modify and customize the design using a digital app, requiring CF Digital Factory to handle and produce mass-customized, geometry complex parts in a flexible yet controlled process.
The Circular Factory first micro-factory opened in 2023 working with local materials and upskilling local trades, looking at technology for social innovation.
