A PRODUCTION PERSPECTIVE

Shaping: giving an idea its physical form

Prepared molds and materials turn the design into a physical form. INDOR combines cement application, casting and reinforcement with CNC wood machining, followed by hand refinement to bring each detail in line with the approved sample.

Applying and casting the form

Measured and mixed material is applied or poured into a mold according to the product's construction. From small objects to large planters and tabletops, the forming method is selected to reproduce the design's shape, proportions and details.

During forming, the craftsperson pays attention to edges, corners and transitions while controlling material distribution within the mold. This establishes the unfinished piece before demolding and subsequent processing.

Reinforcement and curing during production

Where reinforcement is required, mesh is incorporated into the forming material according to the selected construction. The craftsperson works through the mold in sections, paying attention to transitions and areas requiring reinforcement so the construction suits the product's form, dimensions and function.

After forming, cement products undergo water curing and monitoring before moving to the next stage. Reinforcement and curing are connected parts of the process, preparing the piece for grinding, detail refinement and surface finishing.

Machining wood components to the design

Prepared wood blanks are machined using advanced CNC systems, including two- and three-column machines selected for the component. Machining follows the design to establish contours, profiles and connection points before further refinement.

After machining, components are further shaped, smoothed and adjusted by hand where needed. The craftsperson checks form, proportions and assembly fit against the approved sample, preparing the components for surface treatment and finishing.
