swedishhat | the mold itself would be $1500 to $2500 | 20:54:51 |
swedishhat | Zack says vaccuum casting could be a better option | 20:55:44 |

swedishhat | According to Zack: "you need tapered bits and ball end bits, which generally aren't available on standard Tormachs" | 20:57:29 |
swedishhat | He says "To get the most bang for your buck (with $500), design a 2-part tool with a core and a cavity and then have it SLA 3D printed (ultra high definition). Then vaccuum cast with that 3D printed mold" | 20:59:25 |

swedishhat | I dunno. You should probably talk to him directly before you blow $500 on molds. He has a lot of good suggestions on processes and DFM | 21:05:11 |
swedishhat | He said I could give you his email if you wanted to throw some questions at him | 21:05:38 |

bobsmith-dpi | To answer your question: I took the injection molding class at TechShop. So no. | 21:20:58 |
