Transforming Polystyrene into metal

Polyblock Candelabras
May 2015

Inspired by the speed and efficiency of the evaporative foam casting process with my homemade furnace, I decided to carry on my experiments for my final major project. 

Making use of my university’s foundry, I produced many varied concepts (see 'experimental castings'), and finally focused on how complex molds can be built from many polystyrene components. 

I designed 'Polyblocks' based on this insight, a set of three polystyrene building blocks which can be built into a wide range of different candelabras, then transformed into solid aluminium using the evaporative foam process. 


Each cylindrical block can hold a standard 22mm diameter candle, and the design is constructed to suit how many candles you want.
