For my second print, I kept to the oval shape as its curved shape was more appealing to me. I reduced the size and mirrored the lettering but they still don't fit together, which is frustrating as they line up exactly. I also need to consider having extra space when the male and female clip together to accommodate the metal thickness of the metal that will be shaped in the mould.
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.

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.
