Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944)  Project title:  ADVANCED PRODUCTION AND PROCUREMENT OF COMMERCIAL FAÇADE SYSTEMS UTILISING  3D PRINTING ROBOTICS Executive Summary This project aims to creating commercial façade solution applying RMIT’s know-how on the fields of lean manufacturing and circular business models removing the upfront investment into a lease mechanism. With the increased technological advancement the production of façades can be localised back to Australia at affordable cost with substantial increase in quality including aesthetic, fire safety, acoustic and thermal isolation. The system will enable mass-customisation thus responding to market demands and preferences for new building and large-scale retrofits. A fully commercial IT platform for Product Lifecycle Management is provided by a collaborator. Our system aims for commercialisation and distribution v...
