Modelos para moldes de gesso: uma experiência de fabricação digital

Abstract

Models are fundamental in terms of design processes, representing various economic advantages within a project, either by predicting results or improvement of a product. The slip casting, but old technique widely used in ceramic industry because of its low cost, excellent mechanical properties and accuracy, use the plaster mold is produced using a volumetric model. These models are developed manually by skilled professionals, which supported the market today, but becomes obsolete front global competitions. Innovation within the industry must be constant and all parts of a project should be considered in the case of competition in the market. Currently on the market there are tools, processes and technologies that can help find the solution paradigm of productivity, finish and complexity in the models for plaster casts. This study enables reduce the production time and overcome technical limitations, which are the negative aspects of traditional production method. In this line of thought was that the motivational factor of this study arose because the model has to mold the plaster function, and the choice of the embodiment of this model strongly influences the tasks and actions within the design process and consequently the quality oe Release time of a new product. In addition to the detailed experiences of machining, the work presents important concepts for digital manufacturing and describes behavior of materials used in machining and post-process. This experiment presents a theoretical and practical approach models, plaster mold and digital manufacturing, focusing on machining CNC (computer numerical control). Through machining of different materials considering the quality requirements of the plaster cast, this paper describes experiences and compare results, resulting in a modeling option that meets the aesthetic industry expectations and approaches the designer of the skills that must get to work in the sector product.
