 Using [[services:3d_printing|3D Printing]], I can generate prototypes in a variety of engineering materials so that you can hold and test a physical model before investing in machining. The programming and turnaround time for 3D printing is vastly faster than the CAM and machining process. While plastics parts may be mechanically inferior, the ability to validate your design before undergoing to cost of creating a metal part is indispensable.
+==== Mold Making ====
+To create small runs of parts or more durable test pieces, I can create silicone molds of parts. Silicone molds allow for casting fiber reinforced resins and resins that are not uv-cure. This expands the range of materials from what is offered by 3D printing to create anything from very soft rubber parts to very rigid glass fiber reinforced parts. A vacuum chamber provides parts that are free of air bubbles.
