3D print sculpting

3D printing is fast becoming the norm. It's an amazingly quick way to prototype. Creation of files can happen on the fly and sweeping alterations done in minutes. For client work, it's a must. BUT the thing holding it back is the time it takes to print. A decent sized file, say something to size of a coffee pot can take upwards of 12 hours to print! That's where my resin casting history shines. I can cast a silicone mold of a printed piece, and then turn out a casting every 15 minutes to half hour. Cutting to fractions of time that a 3D printer can produce copies! The downside is people think a program just magically makes these things. THEY don't, There is no part of anything on these pages that I didn't personally touch or create. From the lines in the woodgrain of the tikis, to the dimples in the axolotls cheeks. It's all me.

3D printed in resin

Resin gives a much more detail and line free end product than filament printing. The print is molded into a clay bed for silicone pouring

Silicone molds finished

Now we can pour as many, and as fast as we want

FInal casting

This is from the Kickstarter page where i sold my castings.

Astro Cats

All the parts and how they fit

Sandmaster

Made in TInkercad, one of my first projects. It's a sand moving conveyor belt. Without the belt. Hadn't ordered it yet when this pic was taken, but that's not the point of the pic. the complexity of the build is.

Dolly Mold

Hollow casting molds are made differently to go in a rotocaster to make the head hollow.

Dolly
