I wonder if in the long run it would be more robust to print the mold, and cast the metal material in it. Molds generally created out of some sort of clay/sand with an activated resin bonding the material. It seems as if that would be easier build using a 3d printer than building the metal part directly.
- bockris 17y agoOne difference is that you can 'print' things that you can't make a mold for. see http://www.bathsheba.com/sculpt/ http://www.bathsheba.com/sculpt/ and http://www.bulatov.org/metal/index.html http://www.bulatov.org/metal/index.html
