Thread: How would you go about reinventing the wheel?

There is a process. Mainly getting the “master” made then making copies. Then make a production mold with the copies out of plaster of Paris or resin. This is probably the less expensive way.

If you want an aluminum mold then there are custom shops out there like print-a-lure that can help. They basically charge you for the mold if they eat the cost of test runs, computer work and such. If you keep the design then you eat that cost as well.

YouTube should have plenty of videos on making molds and the process.

Good luck
