Fabrication_Traditional Casting The process involves the building material in a semi solid state to be poured into a mold of the required shape. According to the scale and complexity of the formwork, either timber, metal or Styrofoam can be used as the mold. Styrofoam cut using a CNC-milling machine created the mold with a high level of precision. The process also involved painting (for reducing porosity of material) and then applying a layer on Vaseline (for lubrication) on the mold. The resulting cast is sanded to remove any unwanted Vaseline from the surface.
