Claims11
A device for producing a structure, said device comprising:
- a mold defining a cavity and at least two aperatures leading through a wall of the mold;
- at least two elastic balloons positioned in the cavity with the neck of each balloon feeding through a respective aperature in the wall of the mold;
- and
- a device for injecting a hardenable medium into each elastic balloon through each respective neck;
- wherein the balloons containing the injected hardenable medium define a plurality of bodies, wherein mutually contacting surface regions of the bodies are adapted to conform to a shape of one another in their design, and wherein each body is produced at the same time in a respective elastic balloon within the cavity of the mold, and wherein at least one inner wall of the mold promotes sliding of an outer skin of the balloons.
