3D Printed Form for Slip Casting - Clay Shrinkage and a Slip Well

Описание

We have been iteration on our plaster mold making in our deep dive series. So far we've only been copying existing forms. However they aren't really copies. The final pot is smaller than the original (clay shrinks!) and we've added a slip well to get a better rim. Here we use a 3D printed form to address these issues. We test out the form with a draft 3d print of the final size. Once happy, we print out a version to account for clay shrinkage and also integrate an integrated slip well.

This is a step towards our end goal of creating some software that can do most of the hard work of mold design for us! If you're interested in trying out the software, sign up here https://shapecastmolds.com/
