Can you 3D print a mold for injection molding?
3D printing injection molds can be done with SLA, FDM, material jetting, and SLS. That said, since high dimensional accuracy and smooth surfaces are ideal for injection molds, SLA is the preferred 3D printing method to produce injection molds.21 mar 2020
Can you 3D print ceramic molds?

What material is used for concrete molds?
Liquid rubber is a great way to make durable perfectly smooth molds. There are two main suppliers of urethane rubber for concrete molds: Smooth-On and Polytek. Both make polyurethane rubbers that come as two-part liquids (resin and hardener).

What can I make a concrete mold out of?
- pure silicone caulking like this (make sure it isn't latex)
- 1 box of corn starch.
- rubber/latex gloves.
- a 'non-precious' bowl.
- vaseline (as a mold release)
- a 'critter' to use as the master form (or make your own)
What kind of concrete is used for concrete molds?
Place the QUIKRETE® Fiber-Reinforced Concrete, QUIKRETE® Sand Mix, or QUIKWALL® Surface Bonding Cement, or QUIKRETE® Quick-Setting Concrete in the mold. Be careful not to disturb the sand or move the rigid foam or wood strips. Smooth the surface of the concrete so that it is level with the upper edges of the sides.
What can I use for making molds?
- Vaseline or cooking oil spray.
- Plaster of Paris (about $8/3 kg from hardware stores)
- Clay or plasticine.
- Small cardboard box.
- An uncomplicated small object such as a seashell. Plaster isn't flexible so choose something that is easily going to pop out of that mould when it sets.
