Ben Faucher-‐Folie Graphics Design
Puttee Casting
Before opening 2D Design I created a blac and white outline of the logo I wanted to use for the puttee mold
After designing the logo on photoshop I imported the bitmap onto the blank canvas
I wanted to just have the outline with no background so I edited the colour properties and changed it to monotone
Ben Faucher-‐Folie Graphics Design
This was the final result from the colour edit; as you can see the image is pixelated and the background is transparent
The pixelated image didn’t bother me because the lines left on the image gave me an idea of the shapes within the logo
I went over the image using the line tool on 2D design; the image behind I used as a template and always compared the lines to the unedited bitmap
I continued doing the lines ontop of the image until all the shapes was created to a high quality
I continued to compare the lines to the bitmap and the unedited version of that image insuring a quality final product
I copied the final lines onto a new canvas and joined all the lines together; from edge to edge so on the computer it’s a solid shape
Ben Faucher-‐Folie Graphics Design
After the lines created a solid shape, I created a contour solid line round the outside of the solid shape. This line will be the base of the puttee cast
Once the contour lines I made another canvas and designed a square box and positioned circles to align up with the other box’s
Once that box was designed, I duplicated it and positioned the individual lines created for the logo
Once the designs was finished I ensured that the files being used had no issues or errors before using the laser cutter. Once that check was finally done I forwarded the file onto the laser cutter and adjusted the settings for the material I was going to use for the puttee cast molds
This was the final outcome from the 2D design work I’ve done. The outcome of this design is excellent; there was no issues producing this using the laser cutter. If this was going to be massed produced then there is room for improvement such as the space on the outside of the circles could be reduced saving material and furthermore increasing the profit margins.
Before using the puttee in this cast I had to ensure that the casting will be secure in place
After ensuring I have the cast in a secure position whereby it wont fall over whilst the puttee being pored out
Ben Faucher-‐Folie Graphics Design
Once I was sure it was filled Ieft it to cool down and then took off the clips securing the pieces in place
I lifted off the top few layers to reveal the emblem that was created
I took off all the other parts to the layers to reveal the hidden parts to this casting and I was happy with the results
I started to pour in the puttee into the mold ensuring that its filled entirely
This was the final outcome from the 2D designs for making this mold is really shown in the final puttee casting, I didn’t expect the quality of this final outcome to be so high and for it to have near to no problems in the process, I’m happy with the result of the puttee casting.
