20220134598 · 2022-05-05 ·

A forming system and methods that can more efficiently, safely, and economically produce pre-cast modular blocks having desired shapes and surfaces, such as those having reverse tapered shapes. The forming system and methods disclosed herein allow for quick, easy, and efficient demolding and reinstalling of inserts for the production of reverse tapered pre-cast modular blocks.

AIRFORMING CONSTRUCTIVE SYSTEM
20220250278 · 2022-08-11 ·

A composite material structure can be constructed using an airforming process that includes filling the inflated support mold with a fluid structural material and allowing the fluid structural material to harden within the support mold. Additional steps can include inflating the support mold with a first fluid, forming fluid escape outlets in the support mold, and removing the support mold after allowing the fluid structural material to harden. The first fluid can be air, the support mold can be a fiberglass resin, and/or the fluid structural material can be a concrete composite material. Fluid can escape through the fluid escape outlets during the filling. The finished structure can include multiple structural components formed from a homogenous concrete composite material and having curved and non-planar geometries. The concrete composite material can include aluminum alloy fibers.
