“…Loh et al do not present a case study similar to a product assembled at its operation site or related to a charging station, but through digital fabrication, make use of "intelligent" information about details and structuring to perform a workflow for the assembly procedure, contributing to increasing the efficiency of the parametric model and providing multiple information flows to all collaborators: architects, manufacturers, and builders [23]. Meanwhile, in their research, Pang et al present a stage identification method based on on-site assembly sequence and stage model sequence.…”

For the manufacture of significantly repetitive products that require assembly, different strategies have been proposed to improve times, the use of resources, and the reduction of associated costs. For this purpose, there are many documented methodologies that point to method and time studies, reduction of the number of components or the complexity of the assembly as the \acrfull{DFA}, sequence analysis with \acrfull{ASP}, Bourjault, and/or graphs, among others.In the case of products that require to be assembled at the site where they will operate, manufacturing in a fixed position, and of which several assemblies will be performed in different places, the execution of these has been done, almost always, in an intuitive way, that is, solving on the fly, starting from common sense and accumulating parts. The existing literature has limited information on the methods developed for assembly with these characteristics.This study presents a new methodology of sequence generation called \acrfull{CASP} for the on-site installation of a product in which, the criteria and knowledge of a group of engineers are considered, helping to identify the assembly operations, the sequences, the arrangement and allocation of resources and tasks for the development of the assembly.Additionally, this methodology is verified in a case study applied to a photovoltaic charging station, for which a feasible, effective, detailed, and structured assembly sequence was collaboratively generated for the assembly of such a product. The results show the applicability of the \Gls{CASP} methodology and suggest that it could be applied in other complex product assembly contexts requiring on-site assembly.

“…Kieferle and Katodrytis (2016) envision alternative moulds for vacuum forming by using sand which is shaped manually or machined by CNC routers and robots. Loh and Leggett (2017) explore the potential of a ReConfigurable Edge Mould (REM) to produce variable shaped panels through thermoforming. This configuration investigated the fabrication of minimal surfaces by constraining the heated plastic within a fixed external boundary and a "shaping object" that would act as an internal boundary to stretch the malleable material until all forces reach equilibrium, creating the characteristic geometry of minimal surfaces.…”

The paper discusses an experimental design and fabrication process which employs digital fabrication and thermoforming. It presents the outcomes of a postgraduate design studio which took place at the Department of Architecture of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece. Although thermoforming is a well-known process for product and packaging design, it has not been extensively explored with regards to architectural applications. This research by design seeks to cast light on thermoforming combined with digital fabrication with the aim to devise new customized production strategies, that can afford the design and fabrication of unconventional geometric configurations.
