I'm also well versed In 3D printing and using CNC mills for making molds. I'll be there for public night tonight and would be happy to discuss mold/casting techniques and the possibility of thermal vacuum forming. Or if it's beyond me I'll point you to the right person.

>> Hi Faye
>> I'd say drop by to a public night, and see if you can talk to one of the propmaking folks. I've got a bit of experience 3dprinting molds for silicone parts, and I've made silicone molds for wax parts, so I have opinions, but some of those guys are masters at this stuff.

We don’t know how to do that, yet.  So far I’ve found smooth-on.com <http://smooth-on.com/> which looks promising and very large.  Can any of you help us get a running start on this?
