Foldcast designs and fabricates structural concrete elements using digitally optimized designs and recyclable paper-based moulds.
Concrete shaped by recyclable paper formworks
Foldcast combines structural design software with digitally fabricated, paper-based moulds to produce concrete elements. Its approach places concrete where a structure needs it, aiming to reduce material use while preserving the required strength and function. The moulds are designed to be flexible and fully recyclable.
The company offers SlabX, a prefabricated floor system, and Vertebra, a staircase assembled on site. It supports architects, engineers, general contractors and real estate developers from design through fabrication and installation, integrating the elements into established construction processes.
Foldcast’s official site shows a concrete floor element and the paper mould used to shape it.
