I probably shouldn't be using LJ from work. Oh, hell. I'll post anonymously. I work here. www.zcorp.com It's a different kind of 3D printing technology, but it's still amazingly cool. (And much, much, faster and cheaper than any of the techniques to print with metal powder.) You can either print a plaster statue, to use directly, or you can print a sort of inside-out model and use it to cast aluminum. Some of the machines will print multi-colored statues, though obviously that's silly if you're just printing a mold for casting. Check it out.
