So I designed a 3D model for Epic and want it printed out and eventualy cast alot of them, but I have some questions regarding the process

What company do you use and what material?

The model got small details (don't all Epic models?) down to 0,8mm

After that what do I do, if I want to have it cast in metal?
Do I get it cast in Bronze and is anyone actually doing that in EU?

:sos

if you want to get it cast in metal, you'll need to have a mould made, griffin moulds in the UK are pretty good

you don't NEED bronzing, IIRC griffin make a super tough resin master to make the moulds from.....

edit: you can make copies yourself, you'll need silicone and resin (or casting metal), there is a great guide here
