Jeshua Lacock Presents Lost Shell Sand Casting for PLA 3D Printed Models

[awerby]

I mostly use it for carving out EPS foam and wood for patterns for metal casting.

It will also machine aluminum if I am not in too much of a hurry.

Let me know if you need anything big carved!

Thanks, but I've already built a router a lot like yours, from automation actuators. I can cut wood with it, but I don't think it's rigid enough for aluminum. I use mills for that.

Have you got a link to that 65KW induction melter? If I did want to make an aluminum piece that big, it would make sense to carve it in foam and cast it, rather than attack a huge piece of billet.
