A mold designer doesn't necessarily need a high-level degree to get started in the field. Employers will require at least a high school diploma, but a post secondary certificate or associate degree in plastics engineering technology, manufacturing technology, or mold design is a great option to jump start a new career.
The 4 different types of product prototypes
FEASIBILITY PROTOTYPES. For prototyping new technology (ex. updated algorithm). ...
LOW-FIDELITY USER PROTOTYPES. Essentially an interactive wireframe (doesn't look real). ...
HIGH-FIDELITY USER PROTOTYPES. Realistic looking, working simulation. ...
LIVE-DATA PROTOTYPES.
The most basic option that you can get to make your own mold is to use sellotape or brown tape. These can be used on top of boards to create the outline of a shape which creates a dammed area, which you can then pour your resin into. Once the piece is fully cured you can then remove the tape and board from underneath.
Prototyping most importantly helps eliminate misunderstandings and miscommunications during the development process. Reduced time and costs: Nothing makes customers happier than projects that come in under budget. Prototyping improves the quality of requirements and specifications provided to customers.
Plastics help us protect the environment by reducing waste, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and saving energy at home, at work, and on the road.
