About
Jon Engholt is a researcher at the intersection of digital fabrication and architectural construction, with a primary focus on developing novel, flexible formwork systems for concrete. His most notable contribution is the "Tailored Flexibility" project, which pioneers the integration of robotic 3D plastic printing with fabric formwork. This work demonstrates how combining these two techniques can create highly customized, structurally efficient concrete elements that go beyond the limitations of either method alone. By reinforcing flexible molds with precisely placed 3D-printed plastic components, Engholt expands the design possibilities for concrete architecture, enabling complex geometries without the need for expensive, single-use rigid molds. While his most-cited paper (2019) has garnered 2 citations, the conceptual and methodological impact of his work is significant within the emerging field of additive manufacturing for construction. Engholt’s research is a key step toward more sustainable, material-efficient building practices, offering a compelling vision for how digital design and robotic fabrication can transform traditional construction methods.
