    Sounds like you are referring to the Solidscape machine which
    deposits layers of green build wax and red support material that is
    removed after the model is "built." 3D Systems and Objet/Stratasys
    also make machines that will reproduce the fine details we are
    looking for in making jewelry. However, there are MANY rapid
    prototyping machines and technologies. GOOGLE 'rapid prototyping'
    and ask A LOT of questions. If you have spent more than 50% of the
    cost of a machine on prototypes you should seriously consider buying
    one. It is another tool that must be learned, practiced and
    understood.
