With many years of experience, art objects and design elements can also
be produced from aluminium using the casting process. We present some of
these exciting concepts in loose order.
Today: The Oloid, Swiss Patent No. 500 000
The oloid was discovered in 1929/1930 by Paul Schatz (1898 - 1979) - an artist, inventor, researcher and technician. The shape results from the upside-down movement of the cube. An oloid is a special geometric shape with two edges but no corners and can be constructed from two circles.
On the one hand, it is used for technical functions such as stirring equipment, ship propulsion or water purification, but it also has a sculptural quality. The Paul Schatz Foundation writes: "Time and movement are expressed in its form; it can be understood as the notation of a temporal sequence, comparable to the writing down of a melody."
We manufacture oloids in three designs for
Kuboid GmbH using the gravity die casting process.
Our specialists realise highly complex
aluminium cast products in various sizes and in practically all shapes. There are hardly any limits for us in terms of complexity, geometry and tolerances - for industry and for art.
