Understanding formwork as a mould for construction
Formwork is used to create frames to pour concrete,rammed earth or other mediums in the construction industry. These are traditionally made out of wood but we can also make them from recycled plastic 🙂
We suggest to start small, learn how it works, iterate and expand your ideas. Costs can vary greatly depending on your build.
The existing Precious Plastic brick designs, combined with thin sheets made on the sheetpress will allow you to start formworking. However drawings of a mould for a brick that's optimised for formworking are available at the Thingiverse link, and a How To describing how to machine this will be coming shortly.
