Excuse this bit. I come from way left field of the engineering industries. :)
Not having much luck investigating the different rapid
prototyping processes out there, I'm turning here for some advice.
We're investigating using rapid prototyping to create masters for molds
for pewter figures. It's a fascinating technoology that looks like it
could be used in this capacity, possibly far more cheaply than hand
sculpting. What I can't quite find out is what processes would survive the
400 F temperatures for making our molds.
Anything that will take detail well and survive making the mold would be
acceptable. Low cost, naturally, is a plus. :)
Any pointers or direct advice would be greatly appreciated.
