...and we worked together on creating silicone Soft Robots.
I downloaded 3D printable molds from the Fabacademy student [Adrian Torres](http://fabacademy.org/2020/labs/leon/students/adrian-torres/week16.html) Wildcard Week documentation.

We followed the instructions on Adrian's page and casted using both Ecoflex and Mold Star.
**Result**
The Mold Star silicone is very similar to Silopren...and is too dense and resistant to stretching and inflation. When air is pumped into the mold...the seams failed...and air escaped.
The Ecoflex silicone on the other hand...ended up working VERY well (once we created a proper cast).
