Turning a 3d print into metal - Metal Casting - Lost PLA

In this video I will make a really cool skull mask designed by artist Zane Rogers. I started by 3d printing it using a plastic called PLA. Next I coated the 3d print in a special ceramic slurry called Suspendaslurry. After that I placed the shell into a kiln and fired it at 1500° F to turn them into a ceramic. I filled the shell with bronze consisting of 92% copper and 8% tin. Once cool I broke off the ceramic shell molds to reveal the casting.
