3D printed prototype moulds

Just saw this on hackaday and thought this might be a nice way to test some casing parts before doing an expensive metal mould.

EOS, a German company does this for a few years now, they can produce real molds with metal laser sintering, i'm shure they do this too.

This wouldn't be the work of ED, but of the mould making company. How they make prototype mold is only up to them.

I've got the same 3d printer that Craig has at home. I'd be happy to print and send on some parts for the community
