Metal Stamping

[Gordon Gekko]

I just got the latest newsletter from Smooth-on and they have a new resin, Epoxacast 650. They mention you can use it to create dies for metal stamping and show a possible setup with a 20T shop press (shown below).

I would love to find some info on setting something like this up, but my searches have struck out so far. Anyone seen or done anything like this? Links?

Thx,

WOW, This is so cool! I can actually think of two uses already.

I would call their tech hotline.

Here is a cheap 20 ton press

Smooth-on's got nothing.:unsure

I was thinking of the HF press as soon as I saw the ad.

Surely someone on the Mighty RPF has a lead to follow on this process.

I would love to try some of this stuff out! I could really get into doing some metal stamping. It's too bad there isn't more info on the Smooth-On site. Looks to be a little pricier than urethane resin, but c'est la vie.
