Hello all, I've never used the forums for autodesk before, so bear with my new-ness.
I need to find a way to make a really small casing (1/8' perferably) of this object, and by casing I mean basically turn this object inside out and create a 1/8 inch wall around it so I can fill it in with silicone; the casing can be a flat wall on a part of an object if it runs into errors and cannot be form fitted, however it'd be more difficult to break apart.
If this cannot work and it isn't physically possible to render this object into a casing, I could settle for 2 rectangular halfs with the object embedded into the center (I also need to make a spout for my material to pour into the casing eventually). The only problem with this is when I fill in the mould with my liquid silicone caulk, it'd be difficult to take the halves apart without causing damage to the molded object. This is the main reason I prefer the fitted casing if possible, if the outer wall was about 1/8' thick, it wouldn't pose too difficult to break it into pieces.
The printed material is ABS plastic.
The object I wish to mould is supposed to be a flexible silicone material.

So you want to create 2 mold halves that would create the part as shown in your ipt file?

Are you sure?
I thought you might be asking questions about pushing out multi-body solids to individual parts and assembly (Manage>Make Components).
