Dear RP world,
I have several questions regarding the uses of RP in investment casting
tooling:
1. Other than patternmaking, what else is RP used for in investment
casting? How successfull have those effort been?

2. What are the most common RP processes used to make investment casting
tooling?

3. How well do these RPed tools compare with the traditionally made
tooling? In terms of strength, etc.

4. What are the limitations of those RP processes you encountered when
making investment casting tooling?

5. Where can I find articles on RP in Investment casting on the web?

Thank you.
