Wheel Molding

Two wheel molds were machined out of the UHMWPE. The roughing & finishing sequences used in Pro/MANUFACTURE left a nice inner finish, so hopefully the finish on the outside of the wheels once cast will be similarly good.

Vahid made an excellent suggestion of using a vacuum-packer to ensure that air bubbles are minimised during casting. Depending on the cost, one will be purchased during the weekend.
