Abstract: Abstract This paper highlights the possibility to realize innovative building systems, thanks to additive manufacturing, opening the way to mass customization in AEC. Two examples of building systems are described, from ACTLAB, ABC Dept., Politecnico di Milano, that have been designed, thanks to computational tools and innovative manufacturing techniques. The first one is a functionally graduated lattice structure; the second one is a complex mould. Both have been realized with FDM and polymeric materials in a very interesting design to fabrication process. Finally some ‘what ifs’ are traced for a wide diffusion of AM in AEC.
