We have now finished our tutorial video on making complex split part mouldings.
If you want to make a copy of an existing part (or original design pattern) in a composite material such as fibreglass or carbon fibre then you will need to take moulds from the original part or pattern.Sometimes, the shape of the part that you want to copy means that you can't make a simple one-piece mould and in this case you will need to make a multi-part 'split mould' which can be bolted together to lay-up the part and then unbolted and split apart to remove the part.
If you're not familiar with the techniques for making a multi-part mould then this process can be quite daunting but in this professional video tutorial we take you through the complete process, from start to finish, demonstrating the best practices for producing a multi-part split mould. In this video we create a 3-part split-mould for the airbox pattern that we made in our Composite Pattern Making Tutorial.
You can view the video here:
How to Make Complex Split/Multi-Part Mould for Composites
As always, we welcome any feedback you may have on the video as well as any questions or discussion that may arise.
Enjoy.
