....I think they are going about this the wrong way....

What we need here is a "Paradigm Shift"....(whack on the side of the head for those in Rio Linda)...

So the trick is to make a MOULD with the 3-D printer....

then use a metal powder and polymer fill that is converted into solid with liquid catalyst....(surface tension draws the liquid into the powder).....

That way you get a much stronger product.

First up....a wheel gun.

Some folks are making lost-wax masters with 3-D printers, and then using standard lost-wax casting techniques (like SIG uses). Don't know if anyone has done it with firearm parts, but I wouldn't be surprised.
