But these two worlds are colliding\u2014in a good way. Prefabrication has become a great solution to help mitigate industry challenges like tight timelines and labor shortages. However, prefabrication, which requires both construction and manufacturing processes, is undergoing its own transformation, too.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.progress.group\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Progress Group<\/a> for example. Based in Northern Italy, they are different from other 3D concrete printing companies and technologies.
