Reconfigurable and reusable flexible membrane mold for casting panels of variable geometry

A reconfigurable membrane mold from which variable geometry objects are cast, said membrane mold having a pair of sides lying opposite one another and separated by a gap in which to receive a casting material, each side of said membrane mold including:

• a flexible forming membrane having a plurality of ball joint receiving cavities;
• a corresponding plurality of ball joint connector heads received by and retained within respective ones of said plurality of ball joint receiving cavities;
• an array of actuating pins to receive and apply pushing and pulling forces to said flexible forming membrane to change the shape of said forming membrane depending upon the direction of the pushing and pulling forces being applied to said array of actuating pins;
• and
• a plurality of ball joints connected to respective ones of said plurality of ball joint connector heads, each of said plurality of ball joints also being attached to a corresponding one of said array of actuating pins, such that the pushing and pulling being applied to said array of actuating pins are transferred to said flexible forming membrane by way of said plurality of ball joints and the plurality of ball joint connector heads to which said plurality of ball joints are respectively connected.
