The Make&Mold Project started as a low cost thermoplastic modelling process, in order to reclaim industrial materials and techniques used in conventional plastic molding industry. This self-developed process is patented and consist of various intelligent production processes, based on a single wall molding technique.  


 


Make&Mold Bio Vessels


Due to the low processing temperature of the biodegradable granules we have the possibility to use a balloon as a flexible mold. After filling the mold with biodegradable thermoplastic granules we sculpt the mold into an object. When the mold is dipped in hot water the outer granules of the wall melt and bond. After cooling we remove the balloon, empty the vessel, and an unique object is finished.
