    I thought it would be a metal 3D printing process, not a 3d mold printing :(

      3D printing and lost PLA casting is a valid process. And is something that can be done in your own backyard if you want. Aluminum and brass are common metals used by home casters. So it’s kind of cool to see.

      As an old toolmaker, I do take exception to this being called “Damascus”. To even call it pattern welded even would be very generous.
