3D print your mold in High Temp Resin. Try to orient your model in PreForm such that it doesn’t require internal supports. This is very simple with a two-sided, pull-apart mold: just point the cavity upwards. With a shell, this can be more challenging, but usually you can find an orientation that does not need interior support. Splitting the shell ...

For a sacrificial shell mold, a small screwdriver works very well as...
Pewter metal miniatures have their own unique color and patina. The relatively soft alloy can be buffed and polished by hand or with a rotary tool to achieve a high gloss finish. The parts can be easily electroplated in precious metals to simulate gold or silver for beautiful jewelry, or nickel plated for higher mechanical strength. Create replica ...
Step 1: Preparing Mold for Pewter Casting. Use talc powder to lightly dust the Mold Max® 60 molds in order to reduce surface tension. Reducing surface tension enables the molten metal to flow evenly around the mold surface. Be sure to brush the talc evenly into all areas.
