    STL and casting

    Is it possible to have an stereolith part made with a resin appropriate to do investment casting? This probably isn't a new idea, I've just never heard of it.

    I'd like to mock up a falling block rifle reciever using STL, and then have it cast in 4130 if STL can be used. Otherwise it is a bunch of machining for me, and farming EDM or shaper work. Thanks.
