Week 10

Moulding and Casting

---

Group assignment

• Review the safety data sheets for each of your molding and casting materials, then make and compare test casts with each of them

Individual assignment

• Design a 3D mould around the stock and tooling that you'll be using, machine it, and use it to cast parts.

Learning outcomes:

• Design appropriate objects within the limitations of 3 axis machining.
• Demonstrate workflows used in mould design, construction and casting.

Have you:

• Explained how you designed your 3D mould and created your rough and finish toolpaths for machining.
• Shown how you made your mould and cast the parts.
• Described problems and how you fixed them.
• Included your design files and ‘hero shot’ photos of the mould and the final object.
