Sand casting frames and 3D milled molds

A workflow test for sand casting metal in a Fab Lab. Developed during the Nordic Fab Lab bootcamp 2016 at MIT Fab Lab Lyngen, January 12-14 20116.

Casting by Torbjørn Helgesen. Frame system by Jens Dyvik. Molds by Frosti Gislason, Jani Ylioja and Jens Dyvik

We used the Sakko king as a first test object. It is a 800 year old game piece from the ancient Viking board game Sakko. More
