The mold walls had to be slightley inclined to the oustide so the extraction of the mold would be possible. ![]() All thow i started of with a square bounding box i later moved on to design a hexagonal one to avoid using excess material. On the square model it was more of a 3 part mold and finally because of the time constraint i ended up designing a one part mold that was an extruded hexagonal candle with an inverted pyramid in the middle for the wick.Īfter this was made clear to me by the process of elimination and going through the design i started designing the shape to make the actual mold. Here are some of the shapes i started of with:Īs i was making the 3d files on rhino i understood that the piramid models where 4 part molds because of the different faces. In my case I started of with the idea of creating a design of geometrical candle.Īt first it seemed simple but as I was starting to undesrtand the molding process of it made its self more clear to me how many parts where needed for different designs. ![]() ![]() This weeks assignment was to create a mold and cast it to create a 3D piece.
