<\/p>\r\n          <p class=\"abr-text\">\r\n            CIM UPC researchers developed the topology optimization, structural calculation, connection design and technical validation of the concept. Aridditive contributed Design for Manufacturing, adapting the geometry to the real 3D concrete printing process and defining a production strategy compatible with manufacturing, handling and assembly
