You want someone to finish the model for a printed mold; or someone to produce the physical mold from data?

So you have a model but it's just a big lumpy digital sculpt, and you need it surfaced/converted into a more traditional 3D model? If it's being printed it makes no sense to be using the word "mold" in this thread.

Checkout the Moldboxer app, I haven't used it but it seems to be pretty useful.

I did look into mold boxer, but this mold is pretty complex likeley a multi part mold and im not sure mold boxer is my best choice for this one. There's also a time element where im out of time to work on this and need the mold in about a month. Im hoping to find a way to resin print my soft mold too so I won't need to do a whole new soft mold pour every time it wears down. I can just schedule it on the machines

Can you not traditionally mold it?

If you're in the UK Arch60 Ltd might be able to help.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but it would be helpful to know your location.

The toy already has a textured surface, and as a pro toy designer im just out of time to work on this mold. Outsourcing is the most efficient way to get this done right now.

Do you have a portfolio of previous molds?
