Moldcaster turns an STL into plaster-mold tooling
A workshop tool for ceramic makers who want to plan, inspect, and export 3D-printable parts for plaster slip-casting molds.
Field notes
The workflow separates digital preparation from physical studio work: users set orientation, scale, shrinkage allowance, printer dimensions, and mold options before exporting tooling. The site specifically accounts for assembly connections when a form exceeds the printer’s build envelope, and offers single, stacked, and multiple-copy approaches for repeat casting. Moldcaster describes itself as a development prototype and notes that both the printed tooling and plaster mold still need hands-on trial before production.
