- We're in Frank's new shop to check out his testing of the 3D Platform printer! This commercial-grade printer alows him to make massive 3D prints that are beyond what's possible with home printers, including swords, armor, and even large molds for casting. One experiment Frank has been working on is printing molds for hyperrealistic silicone masks!

I really love that this creates a cool new workflow for a hybrid of digital and analog sculpting. Starting with a ZBrush sculpt, 3d printing the mold, casting clay in the mold, and then finishing the surface using traditional sculpting techniques to create fine wrinkles, pores, etc. before final molding/casting. Very cool stuff, thanks for sharing this!
When I watch Norm pick something up doing a piece to camera, I am not surprised he dropped his own camera.
I love the trippy 3D effect of looking into the negative space in the face mold.....
I love the AvE shirts, Frank.
This is such a good use of a 3D printer and it would have never crossed my mind. Awesome!
This is what ive been doing with my 3d printer. Loving it. fun and quick. Minimal mstakes using this new method. Frank is awesome.
YOU CAN IN SMALLER PARTS NORM! GOD DAMNIT LISTEN KID
mushy85 Can't stand him.
Yea, I'd rather he ask questions and step out of the way of the expert rather than talk all over his videos. Not a good interviewer.
Nice to see Frank prospering. Nice to see smart use of this 'new frontier.'
Its so good to see Frank's work going well
Is it easier to print something, do the cleanup and finishing, and then make a mold of it; or to just print a mold and do the cleanup finishing in the mold or after casting the piece? Or it depends on the quality of the finished part that you are looking for? I couldn't even see the print lines on the mask in the video.
Nice job guys. Good vid production and some really cool tech. Love it
Here I thought I was clever 3D printing mold walls for pouring silicone molds, so I can minimize the amount of material I use. Then you guys come along...
It's so interesting seeing 3D printing used in masks and makeup appliances. I know the creature shop on Star Trek is doing something similar now - at least, starting with 3D prints and then doing conventional moldmaking and casting off that. Fascinating stuff!
This is amazing, would love to See some Step by step on How to actually make a 3d printed Mold in Computer
What I was thinking about doing is getting the model and using it to cut into something like a cube. I know there's a process of using a model to cut into another model with and from that shape it up into something you can print. Something I want to try once I get my printer
The quickest way is to create the mold box shape and then use boolean substraction of your model with the drag and injection channel
There are mold tools built into most cad software
Love the shirt, Frank
Wonderful stuff.. especially the bit about boolling a negative mold from your positive geometry. And I'd love to have a printer that big. As it is, I'm having to split my masks up into eight pieces just to fit them together, and it is not fun. Running into warping and inconsistencies this way.
I love the look of that face mold at the right angle it does that trick on the mind where it doesn't look inverted.
LOVE the AvE shirt!
Again, the title should be more like "[Talking about] 3D Printing Molds for Silicone Masks!"
Now all you have to do is laser scan the actors face and print that as a third piece to enclose the mold. Pour in silicone and you have a full custom appliance!
OMG THANKS GUYS!!! I might have to try and think of a way of using this idea!!!!!!
Frank, love the AvE Tap Chart shirt
Kitchb32 need to get me one of the schoocm choocher shirts
AvE's potential for t-shirt quotes are endless
Yeah, it's not the first time he wears an AvE shirt (different one, too).
Frank, dead on. Been using a Lulzbot Taz 5 and designing new toys.. Johnny West fan here. I started about a year ago on the idea of making 3d designs of my molds and printing them in pla and people thought I was whacked. Definitely workable but thought I was the only one.. BTW, excellent with the Wax!
for detail do RESIN INSERTS! Like a puzzle form mold!
So cool!!
I LOVE TESTED!!!
Thanks! I'd wondered if anybody was doing this.
I can't wait to see Frank print his scale first blown flathead V8 and hear it start up. That will be AMAZING.
Check out how Frank Ippolito is making movie props etc with Large Format 3D Printers
This is great, can anyone report about the reliability of the printer?
Totally going to have a go printing negatives :D
would love a close up to see the print lines
I got a resin 3d print what can I spray in it to make it so my platinum silicone will cure?
Awesome!
Frank how do you wax the prints? what do you do if you'd like to release sand from something you've put xtc on?
Thank you Tested! I am SOOO happy that my comments concerning digital making have helped make a space like this a reality. (ok.... I know my crap comments had nothing to do with this stuff but, thanks anyway.)
Oh yeah... I recall WAY back when.... My TEACHER told me... yeah a high school teacher.... told me that geometry was 'mostly' useless in the real world, unless you were a carpenter or architect. (I love geometry). Those 'teachers' were unable to see how 3D printing would impact the world. Thanks... YET again for proving my thoughts correct. (If you understand 3D orientation and 3D space, in general, you can optimize 3D printing because you 'get' how things are made.)
Yeah, I want more on this... Like Immediately... I need more.... Like yesterday...
ALL of it too. Now hurry up, please!!!
If I want to buy a smaller version of your 3d printer ( just big enough for full head masks ), about what would the start up cost be?
The future is awesome. Can't wait for 3D printing to get more reliable, cheaper, and common. Guess I better learn to 3D model.
TROLL! IN THE DUNGEON! TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!
...thought you ought to know.
*faints*
I notice you have a ton of "shadowing" in your prints as visible at 8:05 . You can reduce this by adjusting the retraction speed.
how do you take/make a negative mold of something that is silicone so that you can recast it again in silicone?
Fucking beautiful, Frank.
I mean, the printer is just a big printer, but the models are fantastic.
I want more about the Zbrush to negative for mold process. I'd love to take a shot at this.
Mike Martinez I know this comment is 2 years old, but incase people see this and are also wondering. Sculpt the face in Zbrush then print it on a 3D printer. Once it’s printed, you can then mold it. Once it’s cured, take the 3D print out and then you’re left with a negative to work with.
I wonder is it possible to make this printer smart? For example if you were able to weigh the filament roll, if it falls under a set value, the printer would send a message to someone's phone telling him to replace the roll. And if the weight of a roll reaches a critical setting stop printing when the roll is almost empty.
I also wonder what the maximum size would be in a carbon printer. That would reduce the print time quite a lot.
I am in search of a 3d printing service to do exactly that: print a negative cast for silicone or latex face masks. Anyone have recommendations?
I've been 3d printing PLA moulds for silicone casting for months now, but I can't get it to come out texture smooth to touch, no matter what I tried. Sanding, priming, XTC-3D, filler etc.
1:30 you can print that with the creality cr10... i think it's big enough...
Very interesting process, Frank. I didn't know the Hyperflesh guys were using this to make their awesome masks. I had a laugh when i saw the first Martian sole mold, where you forgot to invert the NASA logo. I can't count the times i had to redo stuff because i had made the same mistakes. I see you fixed it in the angled mold. When you cast this urethane sole do you intend to line fabric on the top while its not cured to get a better bond ?
The Nasa Logo's are the same, he is just holding the second one upside down :)
Can I pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaase have an in-depth review/thoughts on that printer with Frank and Sean?
molds end up being cooler than the final piece
Anyone? How much should one expect to pay to print a head bust the size of a soda can in very good definition...??? As I shop, what should I look for...? Where would you send a file to print (with confidence in the outcome)...? Thanks.
Tease of the Martian project = Happy me!!!!
I don't do 3D printing, but can't you fill in the interior bulk with a honeycomb pattern instead of spend 3 days printing it solid?
> 'A quick prototype run'
> 'Only about 3 days'
O.O how long do people normally print for?
Seems like it's pretty typical for little trinket things to take overnight to print, so I guess 3 days for such large objects does seem like a bargain.
was lucky to use a smaller but high def printer used to take about 1/2 days for midsized prints
When using PLA for the mold have you run into problems with resin warping it due to temperature? ie. Smooth-Cast 300 gets pretty hot when curing.
There was a video where they printed a pla mold but the inside of the back kept hallow and filled it with a harden material.
Are we just going to skip the part where they talked about printing the martian boot which "Would be really interesting for tested viewers". The Martian suit build is still on...
Yes the build is still on; IIRC they want to finish it first so that they don't have top release the videos months apart.
Awesome, that makes sense!
Damn i need a printer that big
WOW
Why does the paint peel off when it dries after I finish my work, what is the reason?
2:39 Hi Joey! Bye Joey!
That camera on the right...why not crop it out?
So, make a 3D printed mold which in turn is used to make the silicone mold for the final plastic/resin castings.
How much?
Damn... 300 Series Workbench Pro - $38,000! Sick machine, but it would be nice to see a video for people wanting to get into 3d printing character models for their stopframe animations at a reasonable price.
best part of the video? AvE shirt
At 9.17 how did you know what I look like 🤣
''The world has just changed so radically, and we're all running to catch up'' Alan Grant
nice
That AvE shaaaaaaaaaaaaart.
Have a thumbs up!
Did anyone see the camera at 0:37
woah, that inverted face effect in that mold was a bit weird. :P
I know it's an old phenomenon, but it still
0:33 lol
I see all the Normies found the tested channel
Denver January nigga
wait minute.. that cast, that ace is from troll, hih is NOT in the dungeons...
Please, you can do better audio, i've noticed over the time that it really is an issue.
When is the Martian suit coming?!
man i want to get into taking a reference picture, making 3d model of it and 3d printing it...i'm still stuck at the 3d modeling part....i honestly don't know how people do it...not that great of tutorials on youtube :(....mostly people are using blender.....
you can just use facegen which allows you to then import that file into dazstudio and skip modelling
I feel like the "NASA" symbol is going to be backwards after it's molded...
is it me?, but shouldnt the "NASA" letters be inverted in the mold?
I think that nasa made their boot soles have inverted logos so that the footprint they left behind had a proper logo... could be wrong, but i seem to remember heating that somewhere.
Print hollow inside to save material and cost.
I hit the like button just of Frank's AVE shirt
Now Mission impossible is near. Now we only need a printer that automatically colors silicone masks.
Silicone masks are 600+ $ price range. I believe most of it comes from artist time needed to complete it. Which part of the process takes most time? Painting it? Molding? 50% & 50%?
From the thumbnail I thought it was a mold of clone 99
Is it just me or is that the troll from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?
non planar slicing is the answer
0:33 top right
So I guess the negative is done by a boolean function?
Skookum as frig.
where does this guy get all the money? also tested! you guys seem to have a large staff and you both buy expensive things and travel a lot... how?
Spectrumpicture contracts with movie/marketing companies.
Spectrumpicture TH-cam money and their Tested payed subscription Service what ever it's called
"This guy" is running a business ... he needs all of those machines and things to work on costumes and props he is building for movies, games, statues, etc. He showed the blade he printed for Blizzard Entertainment in the video and also said that they expanded again.
Tested on the other hand is probably financing itself through a subscriber system (40$/year), ads on YT (on the videos and product placements), merch, etc.
They probably get a some of the stuff they are showing for that purpose and have to send it back afterwards or get some of the travel costs taken care of by the company that invitred them.
Soooo ... the money basically just turns up at their door ... the magical world of BUISNESS :D
I have been in some small ventures and had associates in bigger ventures around technologies starting in the 1980's. When you are the only business "in town" that can do something new and specialized, it's surprising how in demand you can be. Eventually others catch on, equipment gets cheaper from multiple new sources and you have to keep two steps ahead with the next big (and difficult to master) thing or you're competing only on price. Congrats to this fellow. It's a leap to invest in something like that printer and the time to learn it without making a profit.
Can i commission you to make me a mold
I'll stick with Z18s
Isn't NASA on the shoe mold the wrong way round? or am I being very dim?
The mold is that way so the shoe will be the reverse and put down little NASA logos in the dirt with each step.
aliens have to read, who walked first on mars......
My Flyer Child slaves.
was going to comment same, but figured someone else had to have caught that too. notice it wasn't fixed in the revised section either. but! what it does mean is that you can read it the right way round in your footprint which may have been the goal for a theatrical footprint more than a properly identified boot.
That mold is what would be left behind when the casted piece steps in sand. So it is indeed correct.
Just think how big the roll of painter's tape must be to cover that.
Norm and his awkward hands. What to do with them? He doesn't know either.
FRICKIN DO A ADAM SAVAGE ONE DAY BUILD IM BOUT TO UNSUBBB!!!!!!
anyone have a 3d printer they dont want. . . send it my way
so many novelty dildos to print so little time
i came to this exact video for this exact reason to print in 3d and make a casting in silicone
You wouldn't want mine. It's such a piece of shit with all its problems.
AvE has taken over!
showing microphones wasn't enough for them!
Yay, I'm the 60.000th viewer :)
i love you
This printer is $38,000.00.
