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

Individual assignment:

• Design a mold around the process you’ll be using, produce it with a smooth surface finish that does not show the production process toolpath, and use it to cast parts.

For my Moldind and Casting week, I wanted to produce a cast of the meme “67” as I make that joke a lot at school, so I wanted make a metal or at least wax cast of that with the wax mold that I make through the 3D printing.
