DIY Multitouch display: complete test of new compliant surf.


Checkout www.diniro.net ! This short video shows the test I made some days ago with the “new” compliant surface made of the usual silicone rubber plus the sketch paper. This time I arranged to have a video projector in order to make a complete test. There are still some problems regarding the stickyness of the silicone I used, this is causing visible trays after the finger touches and the software is confused by this trays that are recognized as other touches. Check it out!

Mold making basics: Silicone Block Mold


Block mold explanation. This is the most basic mold method for silicone rubber. This is a good method when speed is more important than overall cost. We used 73-45 platinum silicone for this particular mold. A cut block mold like this works best with rubber that is shore A20 or higher. This means a medium rubber. Soft rubber such as Gel-10 would be too soft and would distort at the seams.
