Re: [rp-ml] Glass casting into RP molds

I haven't heard about any
graphite-powder RP system, but it
might exist. Finding a suitable
refractory binder would be a
problem, but not an insuperable one
I suppose. Graphite dust is
conductive, so it's tricky to deal
with, especially among electronic
machines...

Here's a link to John Lewis'
studio; he's the fellow I was
referring to below - he does a lot
of architectural work:
