7. Moulding and casting¶
Our task this week is to use molds to make specific shapes with these constrains: - 6 cm width - 6 cm length - 8 mm heigth - 2.5 D design, which mean it should be without undercuts
Group Assignment¶
The Group Assignment was trying differnet materials and searching about them to learn about them and the results are here
Indivisual Task¶
I was thinking to make a model using different materials and go beond borders making 3d design..
My idea was making an icecream model which has its stick made of plaster with resin covering it, plaster for coloring and resin for giving strength, while the icecream made with silicone, finally it is a 3d model because the icecream below and over the stick
as you can see from the design:
for making the stick from plaster I did a silicon mold first then filled it with plaster, while the final step is putting the silicone on the stick which would be illustrated with pictures
starting milling the mold consist of 5 steps..
1- Open the design and confirm size
2- Select milling type
3- Creating tool path
4- Preview the model
This is the machine we used:
This my mold after milling
Here I am making the silicone:
Filling the mold with silicone:
Hitting bubbles to prevent gaps
I have filled the whole shape also
This is the result after about one day
Making the plaster and putting it on its mold:
The result after painting:
Putting brown silicone represent the chocolate sause:
Putting the final layer of silicone with stick to soldify on it:
Final result:
This image illustrates how it is 3d:
