Autodesk has come up with an additive manufacturing "toolbox" for the construction industry, with robots and 3D printing systems coming together in a portable shipping container.

In front of the designer is a rotating platform on which the object will be 3D printed. And on the other side of the platform is the 3D printing robot.

Autodesk's Project Bernini is an AI-powered 3D image generation tool that can iterate versions of flat images as 3D models in a matter of seconds or minutes thanks to a robust algorithm that can ...

Until recently, that would have required investing in more 3D printers and additional manpower to run the machines, eliminating many of the cost advantages inherent in 3D printing.
