    Molding and casting


    Desgin process

    For this weeks assignment I chose to design a "Spinning top".
    I designed it using Rhino, and the file can be download here Rhino & STL.

    Milling process

    For milling it we used the Modela.





    There are 2 drill bits to use 1/8" hard or fine.
    First I used the hard to mill as much as it can and then I used the fine one to do a smoot finish.
    I used this tutorial mill the wax I had.

    Creating the mold with silicone rubber process

    I used silicone rubber and the instructions how to make it are here:

    The ratio of the mix is 100A : 10B.
    This are the materials (part A and B).


    I poured water inside the mold to know what is the level of the material to mix and than i weighed using the scale.
    I had 160gr of Material A so i added 16.gr of material B and mixed it for about 10 minute untill i got a unified mesh.
    This is the what I got:
