Molding and Casting

Introduction

For molding and casting week, I wanted to make a cast of the body of the stationary plant mascot I created in week 2. I went with the decision to cast the body of this component because I was inspired by the organic shape of the mascot and wanted to replicate it in a more durable material. By creating a mold of the mascot's body, I could produce multiple copies using materials like resin or plaster, which would be more resilient than the original 3D printed version. Additionally, casting the body provided an opportunity to experiment with different finishes and textures, further elevating the aesthetic appeal of the stationary plant mascot.
