    You can use either, but here wax is going to be easier as there's no obvious place to split the mould to get a former out.

    Nice link from 'How it's made'- didn't know there were rapid prototypers that use metal, not plastic. How it's made is such a good program, even better if you mute it.

    I will send Kevin off the 3D file to see what he makes of it....yes if it could be printed in aluminium this would be amazing not sure my £800 budget would stretch to it though...
