This casting system as two main components, a:
- Pouring Basin (reusable)
- Mold Blank (for customization)
The resin used is a high heat tolerance resin specifically designed for metal casting called ThermaCast by Monocure3D. You CAN NOT use “normal” resin or FDM. Don't even try it (I have, it does not work!) :)
More info on the resin is here - ThermaCAST 3D Printer Resin, Moulds for Direct Metal Casting
The system allows you to subtract your 3D item from the face of the Mold Blank, that when printed is held by the Pouring Basin. You can then cast low/med temp alloy metals (up to 500c) into the assembled mold.
Here is a you tube video of the process from mold design through to the finished part.
