This casting system as two main components, a:
- Pouring Basin (reusable)
- D20 Shell Mold (sacrificial chip off)
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
This has a thin sacrificial D20 Dice Mold your 3D item from the face of the Mold Blank, that when cast is held by the reusable 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:
