Abstract: A system and method for flexibly forming a casting mold and for manufacturing a casting model or a molded body having a mounting platform, a plurality of shaping rods for forming the casting mold or the molded body and a conveying unit for conveying the shaping rods to the mounting platform, the conveying unit is configured to individually grip and to place the shaping rods on the mounting platform, such that a stack of the shaping rods is formable, and that a side of the stack is formable by the position of the shaping rods, to form a region of the casting mold and wherein the positions of the single shaping rods in the stack reproduce the shape of the molded body, wherein the shaping rods are gluable to each other, such that the stack forms the molded body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for casting a component by an adjustable molding box. A generating unit serves for generating a component model of the component to be molded, a transmitting unit serves for transmitting the component model via a data network to a determining unit, and the determining unit serves for determining a casting mold model based on the component model. The determining unit is configured such that adjustment data for adjusting the adjustable molding box based on the casting mold model are generatable. A control unit is coupled to the determining unit such that the adjustment data are providable to the control unit, wherein the control unit is configured such that the control unit adjusts the molding box, based on the adjustment data, with a casting mold, which is indicative for a negative profile of the component, and the component is castable by the adjusted molding box.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a heel elevator device for a ski (120), wherein the heel elevator device (100) is adapted for being fixed to the ski (120) and adapted for connecting a plate element (108) to the ski (120), wherein the plate element (108) comprises a ski binding or a sole of a ski boot. The heel elevator device (100) comprises a supporting element (102) with a supporting section (801), a gravity based positioning element (130) movably supported in the supporting element (102), and a force transmitting piston (805) with a piston engaging section (806). The force transmitting piston (805) is slideably attached to the supporting section (801) in such a way that, when an engagement force is exerted, the force transmitting piston (805) moves slideably into an engagement position. In the engagement position, the piston engaging section (806) is engaged with the gravity based positioning element (130) for fixing the gravity based positioning element (130).
