Assignments

Individual assignment:

  • Design a mold around the process you’ll be using, produce it with a smooth surface finish, and use it to cast parts.

Group assignment:

  • Review the safety data sheets for each of your molding and casting materials
  • Make and compare test casts with each of them
  • Compare printing vs milling molds

To do:

  • Link the group assignment page and reflect on my individual page what I have learned ✅
  • Review the safety data sheets for each of my molding and casting materials, then make and compare test casts with each of them ✅
  • Document how I designed and created my 3D mold, including machine settings ✅
  • Show how I safely made my mold and casted the parts ✅
  • Describe problems and how I fixed them ✅
  • Include my design files and ‘hero shot’ of the mold and the final object ✅

Learning outcomes

  • Design appropriate objects within the limitations of your process
  • Demonstrate workflows used in mold design, construction and casting
