Hi,
I wanted to  share some worryings i have  (and expectations).
In my presentation, Warren said :
"Resin casting is growing in popularity especially as people see the results that can be had relatively cheaply at the DIY level."
It is true, but i can't help thinking : will 3D printing be more profitable than casting in resin and if yes, when ? I hope to start a business next year, casting scenery for miniature games.
If 3D printing is  more profitable within 10 years (as technology develops quickly and 3D printers are more and more cheaper, faster, and gain in quality), It seems iam doomed Wink
What you professionals do think about that issue ?
Thanks !

Yep, DiY, next level rotative castings (hope that one day...), next level injection plastics.
I understand that it's difficult to predict that far. I hope There will be a future for DIY casting, hope there will exist less poluating products to cast in the future too !
