While the introduction of 3D CAD software in architecture has permitted architects to dream of exceptional designs, implementing their vision is a hassle. Technological limitations in terms of affordable manufacturing have made the construction sector notoriously conservative. Building projects are often scaled down because of execution challenges: budget and short deadlines.
Svelte is a tool that fills the gap between existing 3D software tools used today by architects to envision projects, and the production processes capable of delivering efficient mass customized results.
Svelte invented and patented an innovative machine-system that creates unique molds on an industrial scale in one straightforward operation, at a fraction of the cost and time of current methods.
Our technology is 40 times faster than what currently established technologies offer. In a matter of seconds, Svelte generates the mould needed for casting any-shaped or material panel. Since Svelte doesn’t use the typical freeforming techniques and technologies, it can stand more points of curvature and inclinations, which allows our clients to be more creative and resource-efficient with their designs.
Svelte disrupts the CNC milled moulds process similarly to how 3D printers impacted the prototyping industry, pushing the boundaries of what is possible today to change architecture and construction as we know it. Not even the new 3D printing technologies available today can generate faster moulds then SVELTE option, as 3D printing is time consuming and results in heavier components.
By-passing existing technologies creates a new kind of commodity which will disrupt the entire construction supply chain and create new business opportunities.
