Design graduate Julian Bond of the Royal College of Art has created a moulding machine to produce vases, each with its own unique design. Called Pixel Mould, the machine produces vessels using a single mould made up of over 1300 individual plaster sticks which can be individually reconfigured to create unique moulds. The vases are created using a traditional slip casting technique, which usually uses fixed moulds, however this machine allows users to create their own one-off designs. This is a rapid manufacturing tool, not rapid prototyping, each piece that is made can be used as a final product.
