3. Modelling and mould making



Working moulds are manufactured on the basis of the first model. From these working moulds series of pieces in the same size and shape can be made.

To get a working mould the model is placed into a plaster bed, causing a hollow profile respectively an impression of one side of the model. The other half/side is also placed into a plaster mould. The two plaster moulds then form one block mould with a hollow profile inside moulding the shape of the model. Further working moulds are made from this block mould. The working moulds are then ready for use at the throwing/turning or casting departments and porcelain figurines or table services can be produced in series.
