The invention provides a fully reconfigurable, zero-waste molding system for the fabrication of thin, doubly-curved, free-from elements such as pre-cast concrete panels, fiber-reinforced laminates, sandwich panels, ceramic components, plywood and sheet metal panels, and many more. The invention replaces the wasteful, time-consuming, and expensive process of machining the mold surface from a block of Polystyrene or Polyurethane foam. It can replace single- and double-surface molds in various applications across multiple industrial domains.
