Digital manufacturing has been very transformative in architecture, changing the way buildings are designed and built. The technique reduces the possibility of execution errors, since the architect acquires greater control over the process, either by the digital or physical materialization of the idea. Thus, the present article aims to evaluate the current scenario of discussion of digital manufacturing in Brazilian schools of architecture and urbanism, through the analysis of the bibliographic production of these institutions. Specifically, this study intends to reveal how this scenario has evolved since the first study on the topic in the country, developed by Regiane Trevisan Pupo in the year of 2008. It is also intended to catalog, following a temporal logic, the areas of the approach of each work. The analysis shows that there has been a popularization of the subject in the academic scope, with the multiplication of fast prototyping laboratories and lines of research addressing the theme. Digital manufacturing has become a consolidated area of interest in architecture, even with some barries, such as the shortage of skilled labor in the application of the technique, in addition to the limited number of teachers working with these technologies in educational institutions.
