There is a rise in demand for curved and organic architecture, Concrete materials plays an important role across all sorts of constructions, and with an increasing awareness on flexible designs and decrease of environmental impact.
Concrete products hold unique flexible design capabilities and are in principle only limited by the boundaries of concrete mould.
Compared to the concrete value, one-off concrete moulds are quite expensive and mostly the re-use of moulds limit the architectural freedom.
The increase in demand for curved architecture demands for re-configurable technologies, that offer both the ability to create free-form architecture and be re-used to lower cost.
Adapa cooperate with experts from the field of concrete, to assist architects, advisors and fabricators in creating uniquely curved panels.
One mould can take multiple shapes, and it can do so within minutes. This means that you have:
The Adaptive Mould eliminates the need for manufacturing unique tooling for every panel and because of this you have:
The Adaptive Mould significantly reduces your potential waste of disposable moulds, which means that you have:
Ideal for precast and concrete products with single curved geometry.
Ideal for heavy load curved concrete designs with double curved geometry.
Ideal for curved GFRC and GRG designs with double curved geometry.

The flexible properties of the Adaptive Mould allow for multi-stage forming, including a process such as the following:
The Adapa Tools software eliminates the need for manual measuring and support you to benefit from the advantage of:
The Adaptive Mould is designed to handle surface temperatures up to 140o C and collaborate with several technologies:
