Parametric Open Multi-Mold Generator
Open Multi-Mold Generator
A mold generator for multiple side-by-side open molds with either positive or negative inset. Generates an object with multiple molds in a grid enclosed by walls and a configurable seperator between them.
Two example models that show the possibilities of the generator are included in the files section.
Features include:
- Load a custom STL model
- Switch between negative or positive molds with a single flag change
- Configure mold dimensions and wall/base thickness
- Freely choose the number of side-by-side molds in the final object
- Choose between full walls, a small seperator or nothing at all between the sub-molds
- Optionally completely customize the seperator shape between the sub-molds
This generator also doubles as a conventional mold generator by simply setting the number of molds to 1x1.
I use this for making soap that is later cut into seperate parts. Another idea is to use this for chocolate bars but I've yet to try this.
