Corvus miniature said, and this was before the conflict, that metal prices were going up to the point that they had to switch to Siocast to keep prices from increasing.

Well, that answered my other question. (: Do you think that 3D printing technology is advancing fast enough that we don’t know what materials we’ll need or can choose from next year? Resin’s a fair change from plastic filament, and I’ve seen 3D printing use a wide range of materials, from foodstuff to steel! Yet Siocast is another new technology, allowing casting in-house, without resorting to metal?
