Plaster molds are used to create either slip cast or press molded ceramics. In this case, the plaster mold is for casting a cup in liquid clay. The tutorial covers creating the cup using a revolved profile, with a swept handle, and adding a spare using a drafted extrude (a spare is added to a model to create an extra recess in a mold to pour in more liquid clay, as a mold casts water in the clay is drawn into the plaster leaving a wall of clay on the plaster mold, as this happen the slip level decreases, without a spare the clay level would drop below the top of the cup and it would cast unevenly).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F02\u002Fcup20mould20teaser_0303-1024x576.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15932\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F02\u002Fcup20mould20teaser_0303-1024x576.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F02\u002Fcup20mould20teaser_0303-300x169.jpg.webp 300w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F02\u002Fcup20mould20teaser_0303-768x432.jpg.webp 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F02\u002Fcup20mould20teaser_0303-1536x864.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F02\u002Fcup20mould20teaser_0303.jpg.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp>All the mold parts are created in the one Part document, the bodies of the part are then saved as separate parts, and a final Assembly is created.
