Hear from the trailblazers forging the future of industrialised construction

Welcome to ‘In the Frame’ for April 2024, keeping you updated on modern methods of construction and light steel technology with Howick.

This month we are sharing two fascinating STEEL HORIZONS | BOSTON presentations from Scott Mitchell, Founder and CEO of STUD-IO and Magdalena Kowalczyk, Research Engineer at Autodesk Research Industry Futures. We also hit the road with Amr Raafat as he explores how computational design and prefab are unlocking creative construction concepts.

How to get more out of your machines with Scott Mitchell

If you want to maximise what you can do with your existing roll-forming hardware, Scott Mitchell is an expert who is worth listening to.

In his intriguing presentation he explains how his computational construction company, STUD-IO has developed software that pushes the Howick machine to its limits to enable some of the world’s most complex construction projects.

As part of Autodesk’s cutting edge Research Industry Futures Team, Magdalena is pioneering the way we integrate advanced manufacturing strategies into construction.

Her STEEL HORIZONS | BOSTON presentation looks at how advanced, emerging technologies will shape the future of construction, creating more sustainable, efficient, and adaptable methodologies

Join Amr Raafat as he travels the world and interviews industry leaders about the path to a prefabricated future.

In this edition, Amr visits Las Vegas and talks to Scott Mitchell of STUD-IO to explore how his trailblazing team is applying computational design and automation to push the limits of what is feasible with steel construction. He also interviews Howick CEO, Nick Coubray, discussing how prefabrication technology is changing what can be achieved with roll-forming technology, compressing timeframes and delivering incredible accuracy.
