I was lucky enough to get a place on the protyping in plastics course at London Metworks.
We started with our hands because that they are quite straight forward to do. First of all the Algenate is mixed up and then it is poured into a container big enough to allow good space around the casting.
We put our hands in and left them for about five minutes and then pulled out carefully thus leaving a mould ready for us to pour our plaster in.
The plaster was then mixed, poured into the container very slowly. The side was then tapped until all the bubbles rose to the top and disappeared. It was then left to dry for about half an hour
The container was cut and then we dug out our models, the algenate can be closed back together to be reused.
The finished product!
A combination of cast and 3D printed objects
