How We Work

Six steps from your idea to a finished piece in solid metal.

1

Design

Submit your STL, browse our catalog, or describe your vision. We guide you to the right design choice.

2

Quote

We price by metal weight + complexity. Clear, itemized quote — no hidden fees.

3

3D Print

Your design is printed in high-resolution castable resin or wax. Intricate detail captured perfectly.

4

Invest

The printed piece is sprued and invested in plaster. A ceramic shell is built for casting.

5

Cast

Molten metal poured under vacuum — eliminates bubbles, ensures complete fill of every detail.

6

Finish

Sprues cut, hand-finished, polished, and quality-checked before shipping in our signature box.
