Molding, Casting and Composites

i am making a mould for a chocolat horse

i have downloaded a free 3d model from Grabcad  Capture_GrabCad the model was flat, so i had to mirror it to make a full horsecaputre horse mirroredmirroring required quite a lot of mesh fixing , to fill the gaps

capture mirror to fixsome of it i fixed manually, and some with netfabb cloud service

with the fixed STL model, i prepared a 2 part mould, mirrored, to be cast open

capture model for mouldI added some extruded texts over the 2 parts. after giving it some thoughts…. i changed the position of the objects, with regards to the edge of the mould- adding a cylinder that would then serve for pouring the chocolat, connected to the object capture model for mould_modification

i also added mirrored small cylinders to serve as pins for the mounting of the 2 parts one to the other
