Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area.

Hi, My name is Juan, I’m new to the forum and I’m trying to learn some bronze casting. I design jewelry as a hobby but I will like to take my knowledge farther, software I use is zbrush, super organic and sculptural, I’m waiting for a monster 3D printer and move from there. Any suggestion I will love to hear. Cheers
 
Welcome Juan. Look forward to your posts & pictures. I don't use Zbrush myself but have been intrigued by it. Is it relatively straightforward to export from that file format into something 3DPs can import? I don't have a 3DP or CNC experience, but was just wondering.

btw this place does casting work. I visited them a long time ago to purchase mold making supplies. they were a smooth-on distributer back then but I think you can still get a peek in their shop. Might be an info resource https://www.donbeggstudiowest.ca/
 
Oh man, thanks a lot. I will. Heck then out.
Zbrush handles A LOT of files. Obj, ztl, ztl, fbx, svg, and bunch of cad files. If you want, drop box me file and I can take a look at it.
 
I've never done bronze casting, but if you design jewelry as a hobby I assume you are familiar with cuddle bone casting techniques? I find that to be an excellent technique for casting custom silver jewelry. What is the primary metal you often work with?
