The WikiHouse project

Do-it-yourself construction system made of CNC-cut wooden pieces

  • Started in the UK in 2011
  • Already several built units around the world
  • Open-source
  • Well-tested and matured system already
  • http://wikihouse.cc

FreeCAD

Open-source parametric 3D modeller

  • Started in Germany in 2002
  • Today probably the most well-known

“technical” open-source 3D app

  • Generic, many uses and specialties
  • Parametric, objects are defined by their

parameters

Sketchup → FreeCAD

  • Mesh geometry → Brep geometry (NURBS-

based)

  • Step-by-step conversion to parametric model
  • Integration with other elements (brickwork,

piping, etc…)

  • Precise quantities
  • Production of all needed files (2D plans,

spreadsheets, mesh models for rendering, CNC code, etc)

Producing:

  • 2D plans
  • Mesh models for rendering
  • Spreadsheets for quantities / pricing
  • CNC code
  • ...And FreeCAD code!

  • Fabricating is EASY
  • Cost control is very precise
  • Lots of optimizations possible
  • A big part of the production chain is under

control

  • Lots more to do: integrate electrical

appliances, make doors and windows, cut plastic pieces too, etc

  • Give less to professioanl builders and more to

the community. Building houses is FUN

  • Experimentation, hacking, actual building and

fun are back into architecture
