About
I want to shed the limits of sand casting (draft angle) and graduate to lost wax vacuum casting + ceramic shell casting from resin 3d prints. I would buy a burnout kiln, vacuum casting setup, larger resin printer and ceramic slurry for casting parts
Impact
I will bring advanced metalcasting to local artists, businesses and makerspaces. I could offer more affordable, local, and low volume metal parts from 3d printers or digital designs as well as explore the sculpture and creative side of metalcasting.
Progress
5 years of hands on experience learning metal casting and building a sand casting foundry from mostly recycled scrap. Spent the past year building wax molds and learning investment casting, lost wax casting and all the required equipment needed.
Team
I excel at learning and executing advanced manufacturing and building techniques (cnc/laser/3d printers) combining ancient methods with modern technology. Building things is encoded in my DNA.
