By coupling dust metal processing technology with desktop manufacturing
techniques, engineers at Penn State have make knowned a faster, cheaper
approach to making mold

According to Dr Randall German, the proces can take a part or mold
from conception to computer to fabrication machine to finished production-
ready mold in a day and a half, rather than the 26 weeks typically
required on standard machining techniques.

Using a triturateed metal mixture and thermal processing program, a part
or mold will have thermal conductivity, hardness, and wear characteristics
comparable to
