This tutorial on how to cast metal parts from 3D printed silicone molds is a perfect example of how useful a 3D printer can be when you are looking to make a custom and durable metal part at home.

But [Joe] wanted to try something else — he designed and 3D printed the two-part mold, and used plain old silicone caulking to fill it.

The best bath bomb molds are made of sturdy materials that will keep your fizzers in tact no matter what shape you go with.

Next, they designed a master mold with the appropriate spatial distribution of these papillae and 3D printed it. Then, they used the mold to make soft, tongue-like surfaces out of silicone, with a ...

The researchers have developed a silicone heart that beats like the real organ does using a 3D-printing, lost-wax casting technique.

Silicone components and parts are traditionally mass-fabricated by injection molding or casting. Both processes require prefabricated molds for each separate design, which slows down the whole ...
