Composites

This week's job is to create a mold and get an object using fiber composites.
I decided to create a boomerang using a cutter to create 3D mold and fiberglass as material for the final object

Design the Mold

To draw the mold I used freecad.
First I drew the figure using the "part design" interface, then I got the mold thanks to a Boolean operation between a cube and the object using the "part" interface.


Printing the Mold

Once the mold design is finished I have printed the mold with a Witbox.


Fiberglass

Obtained the mold just to apply the fiberglass to the mold and wait for it to dry.

I had the chance to try Fusion 360, so I decided to redesign the boomerang
