Custom casting

[Triton]

Hello all,

A quick question if I could. Do any of you know of a source where I could get low volume custom casting done? I am in constant need of scabbard shapes (tips). I've studied a lot of period art work and based on that have developed what I believe are some pretty decent designs, but the problem is, I don't do casting. I would definitely want more than one and over time it might be quite a few but I'm trying to avoid having to order hundreds up front.

Anybody know someone?

I doubt casting will do what you want.

Can you show us a picture, please?

You might look into metal 3D printing instead of casting.

With casting, you will have to make the designs, then patterns, then molds, then waxes, etc. With CNC machining or 3-D printing, they can be done on CAD and the machines do the rest.
