Moulding System

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

The invention is a molding system designed especially for creating concrete precast elements in the construction industry. It uses interlocking cardboard form elements to easily build a customizable, stable formwork that can be assembled on-site. A form mat, which rests atop the arranged cardboard elements, creates the precise negative shape for concrete parts. The formwork is lightweight, at least partially reusable, protects against moisture from concrete, and allows a wide range of surface shapes and textures.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Production of customized concrete elements (e.g., foundations, decorative panels, sculptural features) in construction.
• Rapid, low-cost creation of formworks for unique architectural surfaces or shapes.
• On-site assembly of formworks in locations where transporting bulky, traditional forms is challenging.
• Educational and prototyping environments for teaching formwork and casting processes.
• Temporary or single-use molds for artistic or small-scale engineering projects.

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Significantly reduces material and transport costs compared to traditional formworks.
• Enables construction of complex, curved, or textured surfaces with minimal effort.
• Cardboard elements are lightweight and easy to handle, transport, and assemble directly at the construction site.
• At least partially reusable design due to the form mat protecting the cardboard from concrete moisture.
• High flexibility and customization of form shapes—the elements can be easily cut, shaped, or arranged as needed.
• Potentially improves sustainability by using recyclable and simple materials (like cardboard).
• Reduces waste and labor compared to carved or machined molds made from solid materials.
