Play Mode: Eggshell Mold Making

https://youtu.be/dKLBgVo6cbw?si=nChGJsS9pTVjlofU

Instructions:

Inject soft-gel material into ultra-thin-walled molds to create hollow, detail-rich structures. This method is commonly used in education, biomimetics, and soft robotics.

Steps:

1. Create a thin-shell mold (recommended: print resin molds using an LCD/DLP 3D printer).
2. Inject the soft-gel material into the mold (heat and inject with Saltgator).
3. After cooling, remove the “eggshell” mold to obtain a hollow soft-gel product.

Recommended Mold Materials:

• UV Resin
  • Suitable for LCD / DLP photopolymer 3D printing
  • Smooth surface, fine details, easy demolding

Application Examples:

• Vascular Teaching Model
  • Complex structures with high realism, used in medical training and education
• Pneumatic Bionic Muscle
  • Enables controllable deformation, suitable for robotic joints and biomimetic mechanical structures
