Mold and mother-mold design
Generative design
Study of the effects of various parameters on casting in alginate, plaster and clay
Toolset :
Fusion 360 and Grasshopper for modelling
3D printing
Alginate and Plaster casting
Slip casting
Status :
Phase 1 : Proof of concept delivered
Refinement iterations pending
