  • Silicone molds can be made using lots of different strategies. in this video I explore 3 kinds of molds: open back molds, one-piece cut molds and rotation molds.
    After the molds are made I use colored urethane resin to cast copies of the molded parts
    ----------------------
    Would you like to mold and cast something but have no idea how to start? Send pics of your project to me and maybe I’ll do it as a CZcams video.
    Here’s a .pdf with the info:

    I had a mild curiosity as to what it would require to even make a mold. And this video did NOT disappoint!! Fascinating process, excellent descriptions of the processes and the reasons for each. I'm just in awe, it looks like so much fun!! I don't doubt there's an incredible amount of experience that's required to do this correctly like this professional, but consider me inspired!! Thank you for sharing your expertise and satiating my desire to explore mold making (sorry if that's the wrong term, I'm new lol) great content! Thanks again 😊

      @RobertTolone  Před 4 lety +3

      Thanks Alvaro. I’ve also been 3D printing for many years but have always sent files out to be printed. I am just now adding machines to my own studio. Molding and casting is a great compliment to 3D printing.

    Nice demo, and I also love your mold-maker's fidget spinner. :-) I am currently experiencing the newbie woes of using too much expensive silicone, alas. No matter how much college we have, we always are paying for our education, it seems. Thanks for the lesson!

    • @RobertTolone
      @RobertTolone  Před 4 lety +5

      The materials are expensive - no doubt!
      I always try to focus the videos on the least expensive, most efficient way of doing things.
      But the learning curve is steep and can be costly, especially when a mold doesn’t come out right.
      Thanks so much for watching!

    I learned a neat trick for estimating amount of pour needed. After you set it up, before you mix your pour, fill with rice. Then pour rice into measuring cup to give you a fairly accurate measure of what you need. Works with me, but I add just a little more for good luck.
