Abstract: With the development of technology, the number of free-form structures—as well as their value—is increasing. In order to construct such free-form structures, a number of studies are being conducted on free-form molds from multifaceted perspectives. However, it is difficult to identify the progress of studies related to free-form molds, as the scope of the studies is redundant or similar in many cases. Therefore, the current study focused on the identification of the trends of preceding studies on free-form molds using the PRISMA technique. The study classified the studies into three topics in order to identify the trends: ‘free-form curve fabrication technology’, ‘free-form mold fabrication technology’, and the ‘analysis of free-form panel forms.’ Each topic was further categorized into two tiers for more in-depth analysis. The whole process was adopted in order to suggest the trends of studies on free-form molds. The findings are expected to be used to provide fundamental data for future studies on free-form molds, and to set the directions for new studies.
