Structural foam building blocks: A life-size take on a classic toy

摘要

Anyone who was a kid within the past 30 years - most of us, in other words - inevitably tried his or her hand at building a house with Lego blocks. Cut to the present and a new tech- nology has just been unveiled that uses a similar principle to create a system of structural foam building blocks designed to offer the building industry a simpler way of doing on-site construction. Called the Ultimate Building Block, the system has been developed by a joint venture of Canadian manufacturers including Royal Mould Technologies Ltd., a moldmaker owned and operated by Angel Neira.
