Flex.Molds

New 3D printing materials are currently being developed and released at a rapid pace, including flexible plastic filament that was recently introduced to the desktop 3D printing market. Flex. Molds explores the potential of using this material in conjunction with standard. 3D printing techniques to improve the conventional fabrication process of precast concrete. It poses the question: can 3D printing formwork for concrete alleviate some of the problems associated with traditional casting by reducing fabrication steps and increasing geometric flexibility?
