The main objective of this article is to grasp how technologies, techniques, and concepts related to Digital Fabrication were applied by South American players, in academic production from 2000 to 2021, through pedagogical activities, design projects, manufacturing processes, prototypes, and artifacts. We conducted a systematic review of publications from SIGraDi and eCAADe conferences, by authors active in South America during the period, identified from the CumInCAD database using the following terms: digital fabrication, digital manufacturing, digital fabrication, digital fabrication, rapid prototyping, CAD/CAM, robot* and 3d print*. 260 articles met the final criteria for inclusion, organized from the combination of 10 categories. The results show the dissemination of information about digital fabrication in many countries, focused on different trends of research and innovation, allowing us to understand the evolution of technological appropriation, thus offering an in-depth overview of our situation over the past 20 years.
