She's printing the ring as a positive model, not a mold. (No, you can't pour hot metal into a plastic mold.) But using a version of the very old lost-wax process, she can pour a plaster-silica material all around the model, bake it in a kiln until the plastic vaporizes, and fill the resulting cavity with metal.

Sounds cool. Interesting. I have seen people make a sand mold for clay potery.
Do you have pictures of the steps used to make things this way.
I might want to give it a try sometime
