This paper lays out a fabrication and simulation method for an adaptable andreusable moulding system for the production of fibre reinforced concrete elements.This research leverages soft robots and their computational controllability asmeans of a composite material and as such the base of a controlled and adaptablemoulding system. This paper describes the development of this programmablematerial towards a functioning system for casting processes with fibre glassreinforced concrete. The controllable material allows to deploy target shapes andto eliminate supplementary falsework and the customized production of mouldsfor doubly-curved concrete elements. It also lays out a feedback method, whichserves as adjustment tool of the simulation to the physical behaviour of thematerial as well as simulation method for target based geometries.
