The Master of Plaster is no more.

With dismay and sadness we have taken note of the sudden and unexpected death of our colleague Arie Roon.

Arie has designed candy forms for 25 years at Deltavorm. First by using a knife to cut shapes from plaster and later digitally. This earned him the honorary title of Master of Plaster. In his working life he has shaped some 15,000 different sweets that are eaten all over the world. We will miss his creativity, unerring memory, sharp humour and fine character. He was 40 years old.

Our thoughts go out to his family, friends and acquaintances.

The colleagues of Deltavorm

On Thursday, September 21, 2017, the Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with the Financial Telegraph, presented the 12th ranking with 100 concrete innovations that the Dutch small and medium-sized company has achieved.

We are proud to share that Deltavorm has conquered the 50st place in the MKB Innovation Top 100. We achieved to get this spot because of our innovative products such as our constantly improving airflowboards.

New product:

“Gluing template”

Deltavorm has developed a new product that will help anyone working with mogul-lines: gluing templates. With a gluing template, anyone can now glue moulds to a mouldboard fast and accurately. It is a sheet of silicon that you lay on the moulding board. We have cut out the shape of the moulds with a laser cutting machine. Once the template is positioned correctly on the mould board, the moulds will fit in the template exactly. All you need to do now, is apply some glue in the open spaces of the template and place the matching mould. The mould fits exactly in these open spaces, we have cut it with only 0,1 mm extra. We can mark any information you need on the gluing template. Usually, we will provide information on the matching mould board, the numbers of the moulds and some lines that will assist you in properly positioning the template. Of course, we can add any information or text that you would like us to include.

Design:

“Meet the Candy Pets”

To guide you through the design process we came up a fictitious assignment, the Candy Pets. We made a short video to show what is possible in a typical design process. The design process begins with sketching the appearance of the Candy Pets. The shape of the moulds and their position on the nozzle plate lay-out are designed simultaneously – this is called designing on lay-out. The process results in a set of moulds and gluing template: ready for production!
