Molding and Casting.

Assignments

Introduction

now im begin to design the map of africa by using illustrator

i can print by using laser cutter machine.

Molding or moulding is the process of manufacturing by shaping liquid or pliable raw material using a rigid frame called a mold or matrix. This itself may have been made using a pattern or model of the final object. A mold or mould is a hollowed-out block that is filled with a liquid or pliable material such as plastic, glass, metal, or ceramic raw material.The liquid hardens or sets inside the mold, adopting its shape. A mold is the counterpart to a cast. The very common bi-valve molding process uses two molds, one for each half of the object. Articulated moulds have multiple pieces that come together to form the complete mold, and then disassemble to release the finished casting; they are expensive, but necessary when the casting shape has complex overhangs.Piece-molding uses a number of different molds, each creating a section of a complicated object. This is generally only used for larger and more valuable objects. Here i try to mold an object which is hand by printed in 3D printer and i make casting of it. Before i mold i choose material i use on image below you can see the type of material which is called mold max 65 A&B.

It better to keep this material in Room which have this temperature values (73°F/ 23°C).in to keep safe of materials.

The second second step is to put component A&B in each the container and Something you need to make sure is this. both component A&B we use A of 100gr and B of 3gr


After this you need to mix both component A&B in the the same container.

this is the product that I used in molding.
this is the object that iam going to make copy of it

Now i am going to start mold by putting object in container and also putting material component A&B which mixed and then waiting like 4 hours for drying.After those munites remove the object and the mold actually done.

Iam going to create fire to make copy of the map using mold A and B

in part of casting

Iam going to mix the other two product called smith cast A and B in equal volume

on side of custing

taking custing and you put intu form where removed my really map

AFTER DRYING

from form to out side it has some shape with map one upword

All file used in that week we can Downloard here
