Ling-Li Tseng 2014

Making is play.First we imagine, then we create.

Week6- Molding and Casting

Design a 3D mold, machine it, and cast parts from it.
A tessellation of a flat surface is the tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. (wiki) I want to use this tessellation concept to create chocolate mold with interlock edge and brick with organic free form shape.

  • Technology: Mold casting / CNC milling /3D printing
  • Material: chocolate / gypsum
  • Function: Food / brick
  • Year: 2014
