Seems like most of the metal casting projects we feature are aluminum in sand molds, though, so it’s refreshing to see a casting project using silicone molds to cast low-melting point metals.

This tutorial on how to cast metal parts from 3D printed silicone molds is a perfect example of how useful a 3D printer can be when you are looking to make a custom and durable metal part at home.

Molten metal takes shape as skilled hands craft a stainless steel ring using the sand molding technique. Every step, from ...

One way of doing this is to use rapid prototyping technologies. Rapid prototyping uses three-dimensional (3D) computer aided design to quickly fabricate a part or, alternatively, a sand mold for ...
