Design-to-Fabrication

B+G Digital automates production and the services behind it, turning design into a finished product through a seamless, controllable pipeline. As specialists in robotic and additive manufacturing, we engineer algorithmic workflows that pair industrial-scale robustness with part-by-part precision — all delivered through intuitive, captivating interfaces. The result: customisation as efficient as mass production, across construction, medical technology, manufacturing, mobility, and consumer goods.

Algorithmic Design-to-Fabrication Pipeline

We engineer the entire workflow — from the first design parameter to the final production-ready detail. Adjust a single input, and the whole design regenerates in seconds: geometry, structure, optimisation, and fabrication data, all resolved in concert. This is the discipline of algorithmic design — complex modelling and multi-criteria optimisation, defined once and reproducible without limit.

Our demonstrator with the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) in Berlin embodies this principle. From a single algorithm, the project propagates outward — from design to optimised modules, from reinforcement-bending machine code to the production layouts and CNC files for the formwork. Realised through particle-bed printing, it is a deeply interdisciplinary endeavour in which computation, structure, and fabrication are resolved as one.

Medtech: Scalable and Patient-Specific Solutions

In medical technology, customisation is not a feature — it is a clinical requirement. We build software that generates and manufactures patient-specific products from individual data or 3D scans, translating each anatomy into a finished device that meets exacting medical specifications. Every output is unique to the patient, yet produced with the consistency and reliability of a standardised process.

We provide the software and the engineering beneath it, not the medical production itself. To shape these pipelines to genuine clinical need, we partner with experts in the field who can guide their development toward the specifications and standards of medical practice.

Robotic Assembly and Manufacturing

Robotic fabrication is as much a question of control as of hardware. We hold deep expertise in directing robots and machinery for assembly and manufacturing, supported by our own software—operating across every scale, from large-scale construction down to sub-millimetre precision.

Behind this lies a doctorate in robotics and additive manufacturing, a decade of experience in robotic assembly and fabrication, and an extensive body of research and publication. This expertise also extends to patented additive-manufacturing methods for functional integration, developed by our Managing Director.

Dynamic software applications and algorithmic modelling allow us to overcome conventional production constraints. In contrast to slow, manual programming and code-heavy workflows, we create intuitive UI/UX interfaces that make robotic systems easier to control, adapt, and operate. This enables complex design intent to be translated into flexible, automated fabrication processes—making advanced production faster, more accessible, and scalable.

Additive Manufacturing and Rapid Prototyping

Efficiency begins in the print path. We develop our own methods of print-path generation that operate up to 50% more efficiently than conventional infill structures — saving material and time alike, with no compromise to strength or precision.

Our large-scale pellet printers extend this capability to size, producing large-format prototypes on commission — where the economy of pellet feedstock meets the freedom of additive fabrication.

In our collaboration with Jelly, a start-up and pioneer of new design aesthetics in thermoplastic 3D printing, we unite technological depth with creative ambition. With our own software and our own design, we offer prototyping at the state of the art — from first idea to finished part.

Automation and Interoperability

Automation is most powerful where it removes the intermediary altogether. We build pipelines that generate services and reports directly — handling the tedious, repetitive tasks that once demanded manual effort, and doing so across platforms, set-ups, and operating systems unified within a single workflow. Interoperability is the principle: disparate tools and environments, made to act as one.

A tool we developed for BFC (Gesellschaft für Digitaldruck und Mediengestaltung mbh) demonstrates this approach. The algorithmic room planner generates spatial layouts and integrates automated 3D hydraulic routing within the same pipeline — resolving architecture and building services together, automatically, where the two have traditionally been coordinated by hand.

Agile Software Development

The most sophisticated pipeline is only as good as the interface that commands it. We build intuitive, highly engaging web applications and services — the layer through which complex computation becomes something one can see, explore, and direct with ease. Three projects mark the range. The doctoral research of our managing director produced an application for navigating multi-criteria design spaces, making the trade-offs of optimisation visible and explorable.

Our research collaboration with HENN Architects examines dynamic positional data to read how communal spaces are used — and to understand them more deeply. And our product configurators bring this same clarity to the web, allowing users to shape and preview bespoke solutions in real time.
