Abstract
In recent years, handicrafts have become more popular, and many
people have started working with gypsum to make decorative molds
and artistic designs. To make this process easier and faster, we decided
to design a machine that helps in producing gypsum molds with
different shapes and colors.
Our project focuses on preparing gypsum mixtures from basic
ingredients: water, gypsum, and colors. The process begins by adding
water first, then gypsum, and mixing them well. After that, colors are
added to the mixture, where the user can choose any color using RGB
control, or even create marble-like effects by blending two colors
together. Once the mixture is ready, it is poured into molds (with the
ability to work on two molds at the same time) and then dried inside
the machine until it is ready for use.
This project supports small-scale craft makers and home-based
businesses by providing an automatic way to produce decorative
gypsum molds. While handmade gypsum products are becoming more
common, our system makes the work simpler, faster, and more creative
by allowing different designs and color options.
