Love this. Printing in a semi transparent filament is a game changer!

Thank you Jasper for this - I strongly feel there is some awesome innovation here your are demonstrating, with possible prop, puppet, mask making applications via printed molds and mother molds!

It's not an original idea, but it certainly has some interesting possibilities!

Maybe it might have vibrated while casting the mold, I don't know, but it has an advantage, compared to plaster and fiberglass, it has less maintenance and is lightweight.

This is really interesting. It digitises a major step in production. Normally you'd make a mold in silicone, cover it with a rigid material, but if you want a hard mold you have to cast a destructible double, mold that in a rigid material and then do the final casting. It's incredibly time, effort and cost intensive. So what I'm thinking here is if you want a rigid mold, you can cut out all of the previous steps, create a digital negative, print the finished mold and cast in a soft material. But even this approach looks so clean and effective. good job

Having made many matrix molds the traditional way (and just dipping my tow into the world of 3D design), this is an interesting experiment. I still think the traditional method is more efficient, and epoxy resin isn't nearly as bad as polyester. When they come up with a filament that can replace the silicone layer, however, THAT will be a game changer. Fully printed flexible matrix molds, no physical object required for molding. Have somebody in London do the digital sculpting, someone in New Zealand design the mold and print it in Chicago.

thanks for very infomative video!

Amazing video! One thing I noticed that might be helpful is that once you have a tool of your 'silicone' layer in zbrush, you can calculate its exact volume in the 3d printer tab in zplugins tab... so you might be able to get away with having to guess how much silicone to use.

Wish software like this and Blender would just come with a "make mold" button, how did you add the keys to the mold shell? Just a bunch of booling the orbs?

@jasperjanderson 7 ай бұрын

The thing is there’s no one size fits all method, so you still have to know some of the principles of moldmaking to do it successfully. I’m sure someone could develop a plugin, but I suspect it would still take about as much work to do it well. Yep, it’s all basic shapes.

@@jasperjanderson decided to Google the idea and found a software called My solid Works that does just that, automatically turns things into molds. I normal make molds by hand but having a 3D printer it's kinda pointless now.

Hello, I have seen the video, and I have the same scanner, but I do not get the same result, despite trying various configurations, and in other videos I have seen that it can be caused by some files in the folders that are installed on the computer, that is why I wanted to ask you if I could tell you what folders it is and the files, if you could share them with me, thank you

I don’t understand the question, sorry. Can you rephrase?

@colinmsmall 8 ай бұрын

Great video. I’m really curious about the 3d printed mold concept. I wonder how this would work with something like a helmet that is hollow. Really cool.

@jasperjanderson 8 ай бұрын

The only thing unusual here is the 3D printed aspect instead of the traditional materials. Most of your favorite superhero/space warrior helmets in film are cast from matrix molds. Sometimes by building up layers and sometimes with a core to the mold to precisely control the thickness.

Awesome, great to see the innovation of 3D printing into the SFX world. Stuart Bray is doing a really neat series on his Insta on the subject.

I'm afraid I'm not in a position to do a full lesson on the subject at this time. I think this video gives you the basic principles, and coupled with the knowledge of making traditional matrix molds, you should be off to a good start.
