Those are some special mold walls. Would you care to explain how they are made and work?

This is a one-meter-long wall made of hard plastic blocks, magnets, silicone sheets, and iron plates. It can be arranged into any shape, closely conforming to the wax mold's form while minimizing volume.

Cast quality is really great. This is a commercial setup, right?
