Learn how to 3D model and print molds for resin and silicone casting

This class will go over the process of mold making and how to use this to recreate multiple copies of a single item quickly and at low cost.  After designing a 3D printed mold, participants will take a pre-prepared one to practice mixing and pouring silcone to recreate the object within.  Once cured, participants are welcome to take the silicone object home.

Objects designed in class can be printed using The Shop 3D print submission form
