Dear RP'rs

I am collecting information about secondary tooling for my final year
project. I am sure there is a lot of people who work with things like
this topic. So, if it is any way possible to send some info,
comments, experiences etc. to me I'd appreciate it a lot.

Main titles of my project and methods I already have found are:

1. Injection moulded parts
        *silicon rubber molds (RTV)
        *molds created by LOM

2. Vacuum moulded parts
        *Vacuum moulding with LOM mould

3. Investment casted parts
        *Creating casting waxes by RTV
        *Creating casting waxes by LOM moulds

4. Sheet metal parts
         *Hydroforming with LOM

All methods outside the list above are welcome (a short discription would
be nice). Experiences of all methods (those above and rest) are also
valuable.
