Epoxy Granite Molds?

Seen it and very impressed, thats where the idea started. I always thought the mold material needed to be metal. The problem is those 3d printers cost a fortune to buy and run. That mold likely cost more than a £1000 just to print and I doubt it will last more than a few cycles. Still very exciting tech in time I guess the cost will come down.

its not a bad idea,there are high temp tooling resins out there ,used in injection moulding, dies etc,im not sure how such a mould would fair with long term use but for the right job and concidering the prices some firms want for tooling,id consider it
