    Welcome!

    I was wondering about a custom mold but got put off by having to make it in wax and then go through the effort of making a mold or lost wax casting it!

    Do you also help with the design process? Can you work from badly drawn images?

    Also, can you build multi-part graphite molds? E.g. the base, sides and ends of a mold that all fit together so that you can have deep relief along five of the six sides of a poured bar?

    No he is still in the custom made mould business and he makes very high quality intricate ornate moulds but there are inherent problems working with graphite.
    Graphite powder clogging up machines and the extremely long process of cleaning the machines when graphite has been worked obviously creating a lot of wasted down time which is understandable for a business.
