interesting. I have considered making molds from aluminum and casting HDPE parts using a high pressure press and vacuum system to draw in the molten HDPE. being the lowest level of friction of all the plastics it makes a lot of sense especially if it can be doped to keep it from having any creep. though I am thinking I should look into some sort of resin and fiber concept for making parts too. then I could use something like HDPE to make the molds from.
