A while ago I came up with the idea to make mini rebar chairs / shoes from left over concrete at the end of a job, rather than having to…

What I'm getting at here is that I'm not here to be a service provider ... ie a formworker, or a concreter. I'm here to find a way to demonstrate…

Obviously I do have CAD for the project, and the tooling, as I'm already manufacturing the bricks with in house tooling, and I do take your point about talking about…

ABS is one of the materials I want to target for recycling, as it's often available in large quantities as a waste material. PVC definitely can degrade relatively rapidly. Crucially…

Aha, yes, I wasn't sure if you were suggesting that concrete out of these forms would require rendering, or just talking about it in general.

Can I ask what you mean regarding rendering? A chief aim, informed by my conversations with concreters, with these forms is to have sharp edges, smooth outer surfaces and tight…

With varying degrees of degradation in the materials. Formply is rapidly degraded by use on site, and is a major component of construction industry waste. The funding I have is…

I'm not intending to undercut concreters / concrete suppliers. I'm talking about being able to produce materials concreters would use. If the formwork is cheaper, especially given the scarcity of…

Yes. Which is why it's crucial that this is not locked behind patents and profiteering. The tooling to produce the formwork costs less than $300aud, which is a ~95% reduction…

I'm not an artist with a 3D printer. I build and operate CNC machines, and come from a machinist background, and have concreters working with me on this project.
I'm also…

Hi everyone. I'm currently developing tooling to produce plastic formwork in Victoria, and I'm looking for builders in Victoria who would be willing to utilise it once it's ready. I've…
