Abstract
Systems, methods, devices, and other techniques for a dynamic fabrication system. In some implementations, a computing system obtains a digital model of a physical structure. A fabrication plan for the physical structure is generated. The fabrication plan is provided to a fabrication system to execute the automated fabrication procedure according to the fabrication plan. A set of operations are performed for each of at least a subset of tasks from a set of tasks executed by the fabrication system during an automated fabrication procedure to identify an adjusted fabrication plan. The fabrication system is directed to continue execution of the automated fabrication procedure according to the adjusted fabrication plan.

A method comprising:
- providing, by a computing system and to a fabrication system, a fabrication plan that defines a plurality of tasks in an automated fabrication procedure for execution by the fabrication system to fabricate a physical structure, wherein the fabrication plan is associated with one or more fabrication constraints that represent a measure of structural integrity of the physical structure;
- receiving, by the computing system from the fabrication system, execution data comprising information about execution of one or more tasks of the plurality of tasks in the fabrication plan;
- evaluating, by the computing system and using the execution data, execution of the fabrication plan with respect to the one or more fabrication constraints for the physical structure;
