I've messed up countless molds and casts for every one I've gotten right. The more molds you make, the better you will get better at picking mold types and placing your part lineДon't get discouraged if your first mold doesn't work exactly right. Is it really complicated with undercuts or no good place for a part line (a deer head with antlers)ДЄ glove mold or 2-part brush-on mold is probably your best choice Is there more than one side and it is more or less one main block of material? (like a head) Is it flat or one sided with a shallow height? (like a medallion or coin) If this is your first time molding I would suggest picking something very simple until you get a hang of the process. Start by examining your part from all angles. The type of mold you choose should be driven by the geometry of the part you're molding. How do you know you're picking the right type of mold for your part?ДЄs we discussed earlier there is a family of mold types to choose from. Now that you have a basic understanding of what mold making is all about you should put this knowledge to use by making your own mold!

rotational casting - rotating mold while casting to create hollow final model.

air vent - passage for air to escape mold chamber during casting process helps avoid trapped air in casting.
