<br/><br/> This thesis illustrates the design and development of a semi-automated pavement<br/>block molder machine at the Technological University of the Philippines, aimed to<br/>increase the production efficiency from one block per cycle to four blocks by using a<br/>worm gear screw jack as a presser. The machine is designed using Fusion 360 and<br/>AutoCAD, constructed from mild steel and cast iron, significantly reduced molding times<br/>to an average of 29.89 seconds for 60mm blocks and 25.14 seconds for 80mm blocks,<br/>surpassing efficiency goals. It consistently produced blocks with accurate dimensions and<br/>achieved average compressive strengths of 1910.88 psi for 60mm blocks and 1074.15 psi<br/>for 80mm blocks, ultimately proving to be a valuable tool for educational and laboratory<br/>use by enhancing production rate and reducing manual labor.
