3D Machining

In this section, I will show how 3D machining can create complex parts with curved geometry

Silicon (Hardener)

This is the brand of silicon I will be using for molding
image

Silicon Part A

Both Part A & B combine in a 1:1 ratio

Resin

These are the specifications of the various epoxy resins

Instructions

These are the mixing and handling instructions
image

Safety Precautions

Here, safety precautions for handling the epoxy resin can be found
image

Silicon Pouring

The silicone is poured into the corner so that htere would not be any trapped air bubbles on the surface of the model
image

Silicon Curing

The datasheet has indicated 24hs for a full cure
image

Cured Silicon Mold

The silicone mold has set after 24 hours
image

Demolding

The foam is broken off and peeled away
image

Low-poly Heart (Mold)

The mold turned out good

Resin Casting Preparation

.
image

Materials

I used alcohol Ink, blue and red foils, mica powder and resin
image

Precision Scale

I used a very precise scale (+0.01) to measure a ratio of 3:1 resin and hardener
image

Red-tinted resin

I've added a drop of red alcohol ink, some red foils and white mica powder
image

Blue-tinted resin

I've added a drop of blue and black alcohol ink, some blue foils and blue mica powder
image

Segregated Pour

I intend to create a distinct contrast of color by pouring the resins at extreme ends of the mold
image

Resin Curing

The design turned out decent

Guitar Pick Mold

I have some leftover resin and decided to make some guitar picks with it
image

Patience....

Looks Good 🌌

Result

looks good
