This is how I made a fun Onward wizard staff with glowing isomalt gem as part of a collaboration with some of my YouTuber friends. Check out all the videos in this collaboration by clicking the links below.
I basically decided to make the wizard staff because I wanted to experiment with making an isomalt gem without a mold. I designed a mold for my isomalt using a paper diamond template. I covered it in aluminum foil tape and poured my isomalt in. Worked perfectly!
The hand is made out of blue modeling chocolate. I really enjoy making hands ever since I watched this hand sculpting video from my sculptor hero Philippe Feraut. Modeling chocolate actually behaves very similarly to water-based clay but it's much firmer and harder to blend together.
I didn't go into too much detail of how to make this hand because I only had a short amount of time for my YouTube video but if you want to learn more about how I make hands, you can watch my Hulk hand sculpting tutorial. This tutorial goes more into depth in all the steps I take to form the knuckles and fingers for a realistic shape.

I have some troubles creating the cooling channels both beam elements and 3D channels and meshing them in a way that makes the mold meshing consider them and subtract their volume from the mold volume. right now the mold mesh just ignore their existance,
first problem is that sometimes when creating 1D cooling channels the green check mark on the cooling inlet outlet is not done ... i don't understand where is the problem ....i run a cooling circuit analysis and it showed that there are no errors with the cooling circuit .... some tutorials i found that they don't put an outlet for each inlet... i don't understand based on what they decided to add an outlet or not ?
for 3D cooling channels do they have to be included within the mold without being protruded out of the mold boundaries ? can i connect them to hoes ? i actually tried but when inserting the inlets and outlets boundary conditions it just didn't show the inlets big arrow.
for the mold problem which doesn't subtract the part and cooling channels..can i just subtract them in the cad system and then mesh the mold in Moldflow ? is that an alternative solution ? or it has its drawbacks ? for example contact issues ?
when i used the mold wizard from the geometry tab, the mold mesh subtracted the cooling channels and the part so in your opinion is the problem related to the mold part that i imported ? it is just an extruded rectangle what could possibly go wrong ?
Do you have any 3D cooling channels meshed via 3D mesh? If so, you need to have 3D Cooling Inlets and 3D Cooling Outlets assign to each of these channels. While you can have 1D Beams as cooling and 3D channels modeled as cooling in the same study, you need to stay consistent within the circuit. 1D beams can't connect to 3D Cooling channels.
thanks for your response
well i had them all turned on even the mesh nodes, but the problem is still there could there be another problem ?
could you tell me why those 1D coolant channels not showing a green check mark are there any problems with the inlets and outlets, do i have to ignore the outlets sometimes ?
important note that those cooling channels were brought as solids and used the center line to extract the lines and then meshed them as 1D channel... is there any problem with that ?
just to clarify
i am asking about two examples one with 3D cooling and the other with 1D cooling channels
regarding the inlets and outlets types, yes i am following the rules : and it is shown on the browser tab the type of inlets used whether it is a 3D or regular inlets outlets....
yes i imported my own block and it didn't work but when used the mold wizard tool it worked.
for the green check, i don't have a problem with 3D mesh, it only occurs when using 1D cooling channels
you could have a look at the image here
I think the issue you are facing is due to the fact that you have some meshed body assigned to Channel 3D. If you are only using cooling beams, 3D Channels should not be listed in grey under Cooling Circuits.
thanks that actually helped solve the problem of the green check but until now partially :
i have to convert the cooling lines solid into 3D channel in order to use the centerline tool to convert them into lines after the conversion i turned the lines into channel properties and deleted the solid which were assigned as 3D channels then converted the study into a cool fill pack warp.... but still i can see the 3D lines under the inlet outlet ...and the problem still persist.. what else can i do after deleting the solids assigned as 3D channels to avoid that problem ?
well i just had to turn the properties back to solid from 3D channel before deleting it ...now the problem is solved thanks to you...
back to other problems :
about the inlets and outlets i saw some tutorials where they just ignore the outlets for some channels is there any reason behind that ?
for the mold mesh not subtracting the cooling lines ... do you have any other recommendations if i want to use my own mold not the mold wizard ... thank you so much
If you want to use your own mold block, you need to cut out the part, runner, and cooling channels in your CAD before bringing into Moldflow. I highly suggest using the CAD as mold block option in Moldflow. This is an easy way to create a generic mold block with the part, runners, cooling cut out from the mold.
In the molding cycle of plastic parts, the cooling time accounts for about 70%-80% of the whole molding cycle. A well-designed cooling system design can reduce product warpage deformation and cycle time. Therefore, the design of the cooling channel is the most important that will affect cooling efficiency, production efficiency and cost control. To obtain uniform cooling efficiency, Moldex3D provides a Cooling Analysis module and tools for users to design and optimize the cooling channel. Moreover, Conformal Cooling Wizard enable users to quickly create a cooling channel design that fits the product geometry and into hard-to-reach areas. Moldex3D Conformal Cooling Wizard has further enhanced for better creating the conformal cooling system. Users only need to define the 2D channel curve, and the wizard will quickly create the Conformal Cooling Channel mapping on the part shape. The optimized cooling channel can then improve the heat dissipation of the cooling efficiency and product quality and shorten cooling time.
Create a new Injection Molding project and select the Mesh Type as Solid. Use wizard tools or other functions, such as Import Geometry and Attribute to create model objects until there include Parts and Moldbase in the model.
Note: The parameters in the wizard will affect how the cooling channel is close to the product and some small features. Although the efficiency is better when the cooling channel is closer to the part, the actual tooling processability and the quality of mesh generation should be considered when setting parameters. Please check the cooling channel design at least meet the following:
