Making a mold via derived parts

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

As I stated in another topic I want to make a mold for a propeller for a UAV aircraft. All well, propeller is designed, found a good tutorial on making a mold using derived parts (http://www.widom-assoc.com/derived_parts2.pdf). I did everything as in the tutorial but the result I get seems to be weird. I do get a hole for the hub, but it seems the blades are in a position which is unreachable for any CNC machine to carve it out.

Here is a screenshot:

You need to plan your parting lines.

 

A propeller is not really the easiest shape to be working with when you're just starting the process of learning about molds ...
