14. Moulding and Casting¶
Assignments and Assessment this week¶
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. Learning outcomes
Design appropriate objects within the limitations of your process Demonstrate workflows used in mold design, construction and casting Have you answered these questions?
Linked to the group assignment page and reflected on your individual page what you have learned Reviewed the safety data sheets for each of your molding and casting materials, then made and compared test casts with each of them Documented how you designed and created your 3D mold, including machine settings Ensured your 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 Included your design files and ‘hero shot’ of the mold and the final object

Code Example¶
Use the three backticks to separate code.
// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
