Abstract
Contour Crafting is a mega scale fabrication technology based on Layered Manufacturing process (LM). This fabrication technique is capable of utilizing various types of materials to produce parts with high surface quality at high fabrication speed. The process extends its fabrication capabilities to construction of houses and civil structures.
