About

Lex Reiter is a researcher specializing in digital fabrication for concrete construction, with a particular focus on innovative casting systems that bridge computational design and architectural manufacturing. His most influential contribution is the development and advancement of Smart Dynamic Casting (SDC), a pioneering digital casting technology that enables the automated production of geometrically complex concrete elements with exceptional dimensional precision. His 2020 paper surveying the growing family of Digital Casting Systems has garnered 110 citations, establishing him as a leading voice in this rapidly evolving field. Reiter's work consistently tackles the practical challenges of translating laboratory innovations into real-scale construction applications, as demonstrated through his research on production scalability and thin folded concrete geometries. His development of ACDC — Admixture Controlled Digital Casting — further expanded the design possibilities for slender, material-efficient structures. More recently, he has explored 3D-printed formwork solutions, addressing material limitations in counter-pressure casting processes. Underlying much of his research is a commitment to sustainability and structural efficiency, particularly through reviving and reimagining mid-twentieth-century folded structural forms using contemporary digital tools. With a growing citation record, Reiter represents an important contributor to the emerging field of concrete digital fabrication.
