We are only on the edge of what the new technology can do for us all.
Very exciting to see it being used in our hobby R

I use 3D printing at work. It helped a lot in making the patterns for the cast parts I made. You can dail in the % increase to allow for shrinkage. I would be cautious using resins for the finished product as their life span isn't always very long.

Just an update on the plastic medium, it is ABS plastic, UV stable, heat resistant to 88deg C and is also impact resistant.
Will post some pics in a couple of weeks of the plates

Why not just use it to make a blank and cast in brass as suggested? If you are going to this much trouble why not make them more authentic?

they are done
Collected the makers plates over the weekend.
2 types printed in a gray ABS plastic. My plate is at the engravers getting the hull number and maker cut into it, should be ready be the end of the week for paint and installation. They are very light, so will not increase the fuel consumption of the BGC  See the pics If your interested, PM me, they are AU$50ea plus postage ($7.50ish)
