Week 12 : Moulding and Casting
Assignment
design a 3D mold, machine it, and cast parts from it
Designing in Rhino

Casting
next step was casting the silicon mold.for the casting i used sorta-clear and silicon rubber.which is mixing (solar-clear and silicon rubber )1:1 ratio.first i take the volume required by pouring water in to the molding wax after that i epmtying water in to a cup.then i took the equal volume of part A and partB In a seperate glasess and i try to add colour for that i mix blue colour in partB . dont mix colour with part A.after that i mix part A and part B in same glass,mix it 3 to 4 minute very well.then the siloicon mixture part A and part B Poured in the Wax mold.

the colour mix with the part B and shake it very well.
Casting Process
for the casting process mix part A and coloured part B 3 to 4 minute,
It is ready to mold
Process:
After 4 Hours
for the well setting process it should take 4 hours.then it keep 4 hours safely. after it take out inside the mold.
