Mainly, as most men, I am worried about shrinkage.
I have a screen used piece that I want to replicate in metal, and the only way this seems feasible is through a mold and then molten casting. There is entirely wayyyyy toooo much detail to try and get this thing cgi modeled and printed at shapeways, and I think a cnc machine would have a heart attack at trying to make it out of aluminum.
So... does anyone know of a metal that offers minimal shrinkage when casting? I really would rather do this than go the resin/aluminum powder route.
