Delrin is a plastic. Comes in black and white mainly. I have seen grey on e-bay.
Yes I can see the problem with the cavity ...perhaps if the part to be stamped were embossed first and then stamped to where the trenches would flow flush with the bottom level rather than below ...perhaps the stamp could be done before the cut outs to insure integrity of the alloy otherwise it would probably just mash on the ends and get messy.

But stampig shapes was just something too easy to pass up ...I'll have to try or at least sketch it to give a better idea of how I think it could work.

Have you done any work with a 3d printer?
I have a friend who would love to sell me one and he does owe me a prototype of anything I wish ...within reason of course.
I wonder if cathar has considered it for the G-8 nozzle?
