Prism Dripper Plaster Mold
A 4-piece plaster casting mold with a prismatic internal structure,
designed for producing high-quality coffee brewing equipment. Its technical
surface details allow the characteristic dripper form to be reproduced accurately.
It can be used with earthenware, ceramic, stoneware, and porcelain casting slips.

Dimension Information:
The finished product dimensions are measured from the ceramic bisque piece.
Final product dimensions may vary depending on the shrinkage rate of the clay
and the firing temperature.
Demolding Warning:
Because the mold has a detailed 4-piece construction, removing the product
requires greater care than with standard molds.
To ensure controlled and safe demolding,
the use of compressed air with an air compressor is recommended.
Compatible Clays
The mold can be used with earthenware, ceramic, stoneware, and porcelain casting slips.
The wall thickness and casting time may vary depending on the characteristics of the clay used.
A fuller wall thickness is generally preferred with ceramic and earthenware casting slips.
Stoneware and porcelain casting slips, when used with suitable formulations and casting conditions,
are suitable for producing thinner forms. With suitable porcelain bodies in particular,
very thin castings with light-transmitting translucency can be achieved.
Warning:
Not suitable for stone powder, plaster, concrete, resin, or similar
non-ceramic casting materials.
Usage and Drying
- The casting slip should be poured into the mold in a controlled manner.
- It is recommended to mix the casting slip thoroughly until homogeneous before casting.
- Depending on ventilation and drying conditions, an average of 2–4 castings can be made per day.
- The mold should be allowed to dry sufficiently between castings.
- When removing the product, the mold pieces should be separated carefully and without applying excessive force.
Wet Mold Warning:
Depending on production intensity, the mold may occasionally be shipped
while still damp or wet. In this case, it should be left to
air-dry naturally for 1–2 days in a well-ventilated area
before use.
Minor deformation may occur on the outer surface, edges, or corners
of the mold during transportation. The mold can still be used as long as
there is no damage to the internal casting surface that would affect
the finished product or interfere with the casting process.
Mold Lifespan:
Approximately 100 castings on average. This may vary depending on the clay used,
casting frequency, drying conditions, and method of use.
