Process
The process presented here is the result of many rounds of prototyping, experimenting and refining. The objects were originally tested in a smaller, scaled prototype block, then scaled up into a refined form based on the data collected. The process was developed to maximize speed and strength, while also conserving materials and limiting costs.
The process consists of a series of mold positives, negatives and double negatives. Each time a mold is produced, the object is imprinted into the resulting mold. This means any material mishaps including cracks, tears, seams, air bubbles or others become permanently indexed into the mold, and are carried on throughout the process.
The resulting object carries the information given to it by each step, becoming an index of the materials involved and steps taken.
