Week 13 Molding and Casting

CAD DESIGN

This week, I decided to make a fishing lure mold. I decided to design the mold in Autodesk Fusion.

This is the mold I designed. It mimics a small fish.

3D PRINTING

I saved the mold as a .stl file, then imported it into bambu studio. I chose 0.08mm Extra Fine print setting to minimize layer lines. (Further on I will take further measures to reduce layer lines).

This is the mold after printing. The layer lines are barely visible but still require some work. I won't need to cast another mold because I am casting a soft material.
