I assume 5-6 ounces total, to account for materials lost during creation, unusable prototypes (material loss), and final product etc. So if I made those prototypes out of gold it would possibly get costly.
Ahhhh, yes. That’s a very good point. I’m based in Canada and the prototype won’t be for use, just proof of concept. I’m not sure if that would affect any of the rules, however. I’ll look into the relevant laws and rules regarding its use here. Thank you so much!
Thank you Gr8blu for your in depth response. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!!!! You’re a life saver!
Now my brain is firing. Perhaps I could create a lead-silver compound to mimic gold properties and use that when creating the prototype…
Hi,
I’m currently working on a prototype for a pattern that has certain unique properties. The material the final pattern would be made of would be a precious metal such as gold.
my question is… which inexpensive materials can mimic the properties of gold when doing a proof of concept? I am...
