dc.description.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.
