3D Prints for Moulds

  My current brief I am working with is to make a piece of jewellery using punches and a mould but not using silicon and wax injecting.

Bowes, K., (2020). 3D printed tags.

I 3D printed a male and female version of the word xylem as the starting point for making a mould. I felt lettering would be the easiest and xylem isn't a word that is heard every day. I felt that the prints were too big being 60mm long. I also felt the male and female need to reflect one another so they can clip into one another thus creating more of a punch and die set.
