Stanford Product Realization Lab - Casting
https://productrealization.stanford.edu/resources/processes/casting
Stuff you can buy at the PRL. Machines, methods and tutorials. Casting is a process in which a pattern or mold is created to define a cavity in another material. Molten metal is then poured into that cavity. When the metal cools, a part or set of parts is removed from the mold material.

Stanford Product Realization Lab - Vinyl Cutting
https://productrealization.stanford.edu/resources/processes/vinyl-cutting
Stuff you can buy at the PRL. Machines, methods and tutorials. The vinyl cutter uses a computer-controlled knife to cut designs into thin vinyl films. The machine is driven by vector (line) data created in software programs such as Adobe Illustrator. After removing excess material in a manual process called weeding, adhesive graphics can be applied to smooth surfaces, and heat transfer graphics can be applied with a heat press to fabrics.
