Mapping double-curved surfaces for production of precast concrete shell elements

Practical implications of deforming a flat mould surface into a double-curved shape. Proposal for processing concrete elements with a complex double-curved geometry in an efficient and accurate manner using parametric, associative modelling.

Concepts and prototypes for flexible moulds for production of double curved elements

Flexible moulds for production of double curved elements could offer a solution for challenges in realizing freeform architectural design which tends to be costly and time consuming. However developments are still ongoing and promising methods that result in highly accurate elements still remain to be proven. When surfaces are deformed into a...
