I am making a set of molds for pressing ceramic water filters. The molds will be sand cast in 5052 aluminum and then machined to spec. They are roughly 16" in diameter.
Can anyone here use software to take an .STL file and expand it to account for cold shrinkage so I can have a wooden pattern CNC machined from the file?
the file is here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1L5_wj5uw66nf6KYgo09DgCEDAxwSBPQy
I work with Potters Without Borders, a nonprofit technical assistance charity, these molds will be distributed all over the world to help purify drinking water in at-risk areas.
Am I going about this in the right way?
thanks.
