3. Concrete form
Concrete formwork is mostly used for products with regular linear shapes and low reuse times, such as spiral, corrugated, circular, arched or three-dimensional trough-shaped products. It has low cost and good rigidity. It can be built with bricks as the foundation, then covered with cement mortar, sanded, puttyed, and then polished, polished, and painted. This kind of cement mold can be directly used to produce finished landscape boulders, or it can also be used to reproduce the master mold of landscape boulders molds. The cement mold dries slowly, and even under normal conditions, it will take more than a week before surface construction such as painting can be carried out.
4. Metal mold
Metal molds, especially steel molds, are usually used for small-scale, large-volume molded products. For example, when making landscape boulders slabs, stainless steel plates with smooth surfaces are used; when making exterior profiles, angle steel and channel steel are used.
