Pewter Cast design in 3D form
Pewter cast mould. This mould can also be used on the CNC milling machine, as an alternative to 2D Design.
Aligning the mould and pewter part
Mating the parts. This can take a few movements to match each angle up.

Final Pewter Cast
Although solid works is an effective programme that has many options, I personally found it quite a confusing programme to use. Therefore it wouldn't be suitable for use in schools by KS3 but students who have time to develop their skills during their GCSE years may find it a very useful resource.
Another good start. Just needs some reflective comments.
