In real life, some objects that are crafted are cast from a disposable mold, like clay or sand, which is destroyed after the metal hardens inside of it. So, just like the forma blueprint, the mold must be remade after each cast.

Most smiths keep a "master" in their shop, so they can make new molds any time, but the orokin built forma, not the Tenno. Unless you know of any Orokin smith that would give you his master, you'll have to pick up a new blueprint every time.

Hope that explains it. :D
