$500,000 3D Printed Gold Tiger Mask Created in Japan

[Eddie]

In Japan, a company has created a 6KG 3D printed gold tiger mask and is looking to sell it for over $500,000. The mask actually wasn't 3D printed but a model was printed which was then used for lost (PLA) casting. the end result was an astonishing, mask which measures 18x16cm and is expected to sell for over $500,000. Would you pay that much for a gold mask? Read and see more at: http://3dprint.com/64936/gold-3d-printed-mask-japan/

Please be accurate in your reporting. This was clearly NOT a "3D Printed" mask. The pattern that was used to make the mold may have been 3D printed, but the gold mask clearly was not. I was expecting accurate reporting, not sensationalized hype. Unless the mask was made on a metal 3D printer, it was not a 3D printed mask.

Try and be a little more factual in the future.
