The aim of the research is to explore possibilities of applying digital manufacturing addressing the rescue of construction culture and the conservation of the Children and Adolescents Care Centers designed by architect João Filgueiras Lima. The formal attributes of the lightweight ferrocement prefabricated components used in these Centers make it possible to replace deteriorated components, which must be manufactured through customized techniques with functional improvements that fits to a particular modular fabric. Virtual parametric models of the construction system were made, and 3D printing technology was used to create small-scale physical models of the components. The parametric model made it possible to delve into comprehension of the construction solutions and identify inconsistencies in design (project) and performance (product) that can be foreseen, tested, and improved before massive production. 3D printing has favored spatial understanding beyond graphic representation, as well as making it possible to investigate alternative solutions due to the potential adaptability of these constructions.
