13. Molding & Casting¶

This week’s group assignment was to;
Review the safety data sheets for each of our molding and casting materials, then make and compare test casts with each of them. (extra credit: try other molding and casting processes)
We also needed to compare printing vs milling molds.

Have you answered these questions?
- Documented how you designed and created your 3D mold, including machine settings
- Ensured our mold has smooth surface finish, that does not show the production process (by postprocessing if necessary)
- Shown how you safely made your mold and cast the parts
- Described problems and how you fixed them
