Mold making - casting is one of the most crucial technique used in modern manufacturing industry. But the technique itself dates back to the bronze age. 

Although there has been great improvements in material and equipment used in the process, the core process of mold making and pouring (casting) material into the cavity stayed more or less the same.

The biggest drawback lies in the making of the initial mold. It is where the most of the cost happens and once the mold is made it stays unchangeable, which in part 3-D printing can make up for, but the speed and the range of material makes the technique still highly attractive compared to 3-D printing.

Reformable Mold tries to fill the gap between those two means of manufacturing and explores how to apply customization in traditional manufacturing techniques by incorporating current technology.
