Intro to the Laser cutter

• Workshop, not a formal class.

Intro to Urethane Plastic Casting

• Instructor: Dave W
• This is intended to be a hands on class which will take about 3 hours. The idea is to come with a small item you would like to make a copy of and a disposable container which is about a half inch larger in all dimensions. The class will provide the material for a single use mold and a single part.
  • The mold material will be Algenate which is a fast setting non-toxic soft material designed for skin contact. (My first cast was of my thumb.)
  • The casting material will be a relatively hard urethane plastic.
    • Nominally the material is white.
    • Colorants will be available.
    • If there is sufficient interest a clear material will be available. (The material comes in 1 quart minimum.) A student could purchase an entire quart of their desired material if so inclinded.
• The students will be expected to pay for the materials on the basis of volume. Cost is estimated at about $30/quart based on the casting container size. It will be necessary for them to pre-register to make sure sufficient materials are on hand.
• The format will be a classroom demonstration followed by a workshop where each student makes their own casting.
• Items to be covered:
  • Minimum requirements for casting
  • Safety Considerations
  • Introduction to casting materials
  • Mold design consiterations
  • Measuring and Mixing Materials
  • Items affecting casting quality
• It is expected this could take place in the classroom if provision can be made to control spills. Each student should have about 6 square feet of table space to help prevent spills. Casting material in the carpet is irreversible.
