Compression Molded Duck Decoy Art

Hi there. This is a lofty first project but I’m tackling casting a duck sculpture with the hopes of making floating sculptures for an outdoor art installation.

I’ve sculpted the duck and I’ve got a quote out for a 3D scanning that would produce an aluminum outer and inner mold so I can cast it somewhat hollow. I expect that it’ll be two separate parts to cast as well as installing a flat sheet base to seal the air to keep it buoyant.

I’ve got parts on order for the compression oven and have applied for several grants to fund this.

Cheers!
Lindsey

QUESTIONS – will the stainless shredder handle thick HDPE like buckets or pipes? It’s a good source of material but I’d rather not destroy my shredder.
