        Subject: RP and Investment Casting Tooling

        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.
