>prototyping
You have no idea WTF this word even means.

>then encase it in sand/clay
1) This is not prototyping retard
2)
>Ah yes lets reproduce the defects and retardation of the limited and flawed FDM printing process!
>GENIUS!
See why you are retarded?

>and then prepare your favorite alloy to turn the plastic into metal.
??? Why? What parts do you need you dumb fuck?
Also
>Ah yes lets work with the limitations of sand casting negating the benefits of 3D printing! The worst of all possible worlds!
>The limitations of sand casting and the defects generated by 3D printing! TOGETHER!
>What a time to be alive!
You retards are unreal!

And the finally this:
>Of course, there even are companies that will 3D print you things
Why 3D print you retarded fuck? All 3D printed metals are made using sintering and this like FDM created a metal that will forever lose parts of itself.
>Yes forget micro plastics!
>Now we are poisoning ourselves with micro metals now!
What the fuck!

>Of course, there even are companies that will 3D print you things
Why not CnC you retard? Why at all use 3D printing? CnC exists and produces incredible results however costs a lot.
If you retards where not fucked in the head you obsess over CnC at home. That is SUBTRACTIVE manufacturing! While 3D printing is ADDITIVE manufacturing.
