Future proofing the mold making process for Royal Delft ceramics

This graduation report presents a new mold making approach for Royal Delft. The traditional production trajectory starts with a positive model and pouring plaster mold parts onto it one by one, producing a negative casting mold for one shape. This new proposal takes the plaster mold parts as a starting point, combining them into a modular system that can be modified continuously in order to produce many variations of a shape without starting from scratch for every new shape. The benefit of this approach is that shapes such as plates, vases and boxes can be quickly tailored to individual customers, changing elements, adding personal texts and creating custom vector reliefs.
