Performance is the main criteria to start searching for facade design ideas, In our case, we choose indoor thermal and light control to be our main aim for the facade design. To demonstrate this process we set up a system to implement this idea over leftovers of Aluminium Composite panels (ACP). Therefore, We extract the information by Material behavior testing. Using a robotic arm for shaping and assemblage the material through pick and place process.

Introducing Robotic Fabrication and Milling process
On one hand the robotic fabrication process was divided into 3 parts that complete each other, in the other hand, Folding and assembling were a challenge and needs more exploration. As a result we decided to use CNC machines for milling so we can optimize the robotic explorations more in folding ad assembling.

Fabrication Vision and Constrains
An automated mass customization production system of ACP components could be handled by One robot in a space, where all the processes are taking place precisely at one time.
