The ACTech Hub at the University of Minho School of Architecture Art and Design is a leading research center in Portugal. It operates at the innovative intersection of architecture engineering and advanced digital technologies. The hub focuses heavily on additive manufacturing robotic construction and the integration of BIM with generative design. Their work involves the development and experimental validation of sustainable automated building systems such as 3D-printed concrete with natural fiber reinforcement. Researchers here also investigate small 3D-printed clay bricks with complex internal geometries and robotically fabricated architectural components. By bridging academic research with practical application the hub fosters deep collaboration with industry partners to drive lasting innovation in the construction sector.
