Potential for Revolutionising the Construction Process

3 具有可持續性、無廢物產生的機械化模具制作、蠟模澆筑及混凝土自由造型過程/A robotic forming method, wax formwork and free-form concrete characterize a sustainable, waste-less process

4 現場裝配:可用常規方法/On site assembly: compatible with conventional methods.

5 可調節模具驅動/Adjustable mold actuation
無廢自由模板構造技術將現有工藝與材料以新的方式相結合,利用可重復使用、數字化制造的蠟模板,來制造非重復性自由形式的現澆混凝土結構。與研磨一次性應用的膨脹聚苯乙烯塊或使用諸如膠合板等受低曲率限制的彎曲片材相比,可重復使用的蠟模板既節省材料也節約能量。創建一個由機器人驅動的自由形式模具,形成可再熔的蠟陰模,將其作為混凝土模板放置在現場。該過程可以通過計算機輔助制造來補充,改善復雜審美應用所產生的復雜形狀。該技術使得復雜的自由幾何形狀現代建筑產品可以使用在材料消耗、能效和可用性方面高度優化的設計來制造。
The Wasteless Free-Form Formwork construction technology combines existing processes and materials in a new way to fabricate non-repetitive free-form cast-on-site concrete structures using re-usable and digitally-fabricated wax formwork. The re-usable wax formwork saves material and energy compared to milling expanded polystyrene blocks for single-use applications or using flexed sheets of material such as plywood which are limited to low curvatures. A robotically actuated free form mold is created forming a remeltable wax negative which is placed on-site as concrete formwork. The process can be complemented through computer-aided manufacturing that improves the creation of complex shapes of aesthetically sophisticated applications. The technology enables complex and free-form geometries of contemporary architectural production to be fabricated using designs that are highly optimized in terms of material consumption, energy efficiency and usability.
