10. Molding and casting¶
Our Homework this week:¶
Our assignment this week is to:
Group assignment:¶
Review the safety data sheets for each of your molding and casting materials Make and compare test casts with each of them
Individual assignment:¶
- Design a 3D mold around the stock and tooling that you’ll be using, mill it (rough cut + (at least) three-axis finish cut), and use it to cast parts.
Learning outcomes¶
Design appropriate objects within the limitations of 3 axis machining Demonstrate workflows used in mould design, construction and casting
Have you answered these questions?¶
Linked to the group assignment page and reflected on your individual page what you have learned Reviewed the safety data sheets for each of your molding and casting materials, then made and compared test casts with each of them Documented how you designed your 3D mould and created your rough and finish toolpaths for machining, including machine settings Shown how you made your mould and cast the parts Described problems and how you fixed them Included your design files and ‘hero shot’ of the mould and the final object

Code Example¶
Use the three backticks to separate code.
// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
