History
Shipping costs and machine sources are still being researched. --Dbever (talk) 23:56, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
Background
There are two major machines required for the lost wax casting process.
- Investment table
- Estimate ~$900 or less for used machine
- Wax Injector
- New machine ~$400
The above linked items are examples of available (at the time of this writing) equipment to fill these roles, and are intended as a rough indicator of pricing and equipment configuration. Similar equipment may need to be located once this vote passes.
Also needed to bootstrap our casting abilities would be mold-making supplies:
- Silicone rubber
- ~$120
- Plaster Investment
- ~$35
Total for materials and equipment: ~$1551.64
Shipping costs: ~$250 (wild estimate - there are freight costs involved)
Total with 10% buffer: $1959.69
Goals
Equip PS:1 with tools and supplies necessary for metal casting.
Language
Authorize the board to spend up to $1959.69 on equipment and materials for lost wax process metal casting.
