The next prototype is on its way. I'm so excited! I've changed the process slightly since the first model. I now pay the prototyiping company to cast the prototype in silver and send me the raw master. So, of all the steps, steps 3 and 4 are the only ones I don't do myself. Once I receive my master model I will continue with step 5.
Step 1: create computer model
Step 2: send model to prototyping company for a quote
Step 3: a wax prototype is grown.
Step 4: cast wax prototype in silver
Step 5: clean, finish, and polish silver master model
Step 6: make mold of silver master
Step 7: use mold to make wax models
Step 8: cast wax models
Step 9: clean, finish, polish, size, and set stones
