About this generator
Modelador 3D Two-Part Mold Generator turns the STL of a part you want to copy into a printable two-part mold. You upload a closed STL, which is processed in your browser, choose where the mold splits (the parting plane can move up to 200 mm either way, the main way to avoid an undercut that would lock the part in), and set the margin around the part, the wall thickness and the corner radius. It adds alignment pins with their own diameter, depth and clearance, a tapered pour funnel and one to six air vents, and can scale the cavity up to 103% or grow it by up to 1.5 mm to allow for material shrinkage.
The download contains the two halves, the assembled mold and a technical sheet. It comes from the small Brazilian studio behind the Modelador 3D Part Generator; the technical text is in Portuguese with menus partly translated, and downloads are free after registering a first name and a verified email.
The page is clear about its limits: it is meant for simple parts and test pieces, tunnels and undercuts may need inserts or extra parts, and pressure, vacuum, heated curing and industrial injection need their own design and validation. Print a small test before a full mold.
