I’ve been working with a large blow molding factory in China for about 5 years and I’m amazed at how big they can blow mold hollow panels. They make the light weight blow molded folding tables for stores like Target.

  • The panels are light weight and strong, which makes it a great material / process for modular construction.
  • The panels ship neatly in containers (perfect cube) and can be hand carried to remote sites (if the roads are trashed after a disaster).
  • The ball-and-socket construction makes for easy assembly.
  • The hollow panels can be filled with water or sand to help lower the center of gravity.
