The idea: not replace the entire mold, but replace specific components. This reduces costs, shortens downtimes and increases planning reliability.Modularity also creates flexibility: Tools can be adapted to changing product requirements without having to be redesigned or completely replaced. Start pavers, edge pavers or half pavers in the paver mold can be designed as an interchangeable cavity or changeable cavity. Depending on the requirements of the project, production can be easily customised. The simultaneous production of the different pavers has the advantage of less colour variation than if they are produced in different batches. Reproducibility and interchangeability guarantee consistent quality and precision in the mold tool. This gives concrete block plants the security of working with a system that remains constant over many years.This philosophy has made Kobra a technological benchmark. The goal is clear: To supply tools that fulfil today's requirements and define new standards tomorrow.New technologies %u2013 new possibilitiesAdditive manufacturing is fundamentally changing mold making. It does not replace conventional processes, but complements them in a decisive way. Highly complex components can be produced with less material and shorter lead times. Spare parts are available more quickly, and quality and precision are more reproducible than ever before. This also involves intensive rethinking and redesigning components that were previously subject to the technological constraints of conventional CNC production. In particular, designs with round geometries or particularly sharp-edged surfaces as imitation natural stone were limited by milling.Exhibit at bauma 2025 %u2013 AM-manufactured tamper shoes and pavers produced with themKobra's own training workshop with machine equipment
