Fyous has announced the launch of its groundbreaking PolyMorphic moulding technology at the RAPID + TCT event in Los Angeles, marking a significant advancement in manufacturing processes. This innovative system is poised to transform the industry with its ability to create parts up to 14 times faster than traditional 3D printing methods, while producing zero waste.
The PolyMorphic moulding system, designed by Fyous co-founders Joshua Shires and Thomas Bloomfield, utilises a unique approach to mould production. The technology features a mould made up of over 28,000 densely packed pins, which can withstand up to six tonnes of distributed pressure. This mould can automatically reshape itself within 20 minutes to produce different components, eliminating the need for wasteful tooling adjustments.
Unlike conventional manufacturing methods, which often generate substantial waste through tooling and mould alterations, PolyMorphic moulding offers a sustainable alternative. By inputting a 3D CAD model into Fyous’s software, the system generates a mould that can then be transformed to create the desired product. Once production is complete, the mould is returned to the machine, ready for the next use, ensuring that no material is wasted.
The technology’s rapid production capability and zero-waste approach are set to disrupt both prototyping and manufacturing sectors. Fyous highlights that PolyMorphic moulding supports various applications, including vacuum forming, foam casting, food production, and composite layup. The versatility of the technology opens up a multitude of potential uses, reflecting its adaptability and innovation.
Joshua Shires, founder of Fyous, expressed enthusiasm about the new technology’s impact: “Our mission is to revolutionise the moulding process, accelerating time to market and making manufacturing more environmentally friendly. PolyMorphic moulding not only reduces physical waste but also cuts down on wasted time in product development and prototyping.”
Thomas Bloomfield, another founder, added, “PolyMorphic moulding can produce products up to 14 times faster than traditional 3D printing, with no waste. Its ability to handle various materials and processes makes its potential applications almost limitless. We are excited to explore these possibilities as we continue to develop and refine the technology.”
Fyous will be showcasing PolyMorphic moulding at the RAPID + TCT event from 25th to 27th June at the LA Convention Center, stand 2763. For more details on Fyous’s technology, visit www.fyous.com.
