Casting with the laser cutter !!!

[Chris wilson]

Hey i was at the Bay area makerfaire and found a hakerspace doing coin casting with there laser. the just laser engraved two thin MDF blanks and then pored pewter in to cast have a look at the pics the pewter melting point is below the MDF charing point so the mold can be reused.

Nice!  Would also be good practical joke with Gallium: melting point 85F
