- PolyMorphic moulding set to change the manufacturing
landscape
- 14x faster than 3D printing
- More sustainable method; producing zero waste
- Can shapeshift automatically in less than 20 minutes
Fyous is launching the world’s first, infinitely reusable
moulding technology; PolyMorphic moulding, at this month’s RAPID +
TCT event in Los Angeles. Fyous’s technology can shapeshift in
under 20 minutes, producing zero tooling waste and making usable
parts 14 times faster than 3D printing.

The technology, devised and engineered by Fyous’ co-founders
Joshua Shires and Thomas Bloomfield, features more than 28,000
densely packed pins that create the mould. Once the pins are in
position, the mould can withstand six tonnes of distributed
pressure.
Metamorphic by nature, patent-pending PolyMorphic moulding has
the potential to transform the manufacturing industry, reducing the
waste generated through tooling amends, coupled with the faster
production times compared to 3D printing and traditional
mould-making. By inputting a 3D CAD model, Fyous software generates
the PolyMorphic mould shape. The PolyMorphic machine then
shapeshifts the mould to create the intended product. On completion
of production, the PolyMorphic mould is returned to the machine,
ready for the next shapeshift. Product manufacture could be
anything you typically use a mould for, e.g. Vacuum forming, Foam
casting, food production or composite layup (to name a few).
The Fyous team will be exhibiting at RAPID + TCT in Los Angeles,
25th-27th June at the LA Convention Center at stand 2763.
Joshua Shires, founder of Fyous, says: “Our mission is to
deliver a revolutionary moulding technology that will disrupt
prototyping and manufacturing sectors worldwide.
“Using PolyMorphic moulding to rapidly create accurate moulds
for tooling will reduce time to market for a huge array of
products, plus unlock commercial viability for desirable products
which currently have no cost-effective manufacture method.
“Our mission is to deliver this disruption whilst reducing
environmental impact. PolyMorphic moulding is a zero-waste
technology where raw materials are conserved and the moulds can be
used again and again. We will remove not only physical waste in the
form of materials and tooling, but also remove wasted time by
accelerating product development, prototyping and manufacture
efficiencies.”
Thomas Bloomfield, Fyous founder, says: “The new technology can
generate products up to 14 times faster than conventional 3D
printing methods, with zero-waste. PolyMorphic moulding supports a
wide array of materials and processes, including moulding and
casting, vacuum forming, and composite lay-up.
“This versatility makes its possible applications almost
limitless. Much like when 3D printing was developed, the
applications it could potentially be used for was unknown by its
inventors. The Fyous team is now undertaking this period of
discovery with PolyMorphic moulding, uncovering potential
applications for this technology at an exponential rate.”
