Harry, Solidwork models can be output in many formats including .stl, which is the most common for use in rapid prototyping and cad/cam applications.
I will be doing some research into having the model "printed" dirctly in wax. I am not sure of the the quality of the surface finish and of the cost of this method. I think it may be more effective to have to CAD model produced using the stero-lithography method which would give me a "pattern" in a resin material. I would then use that pattern to produce a RTV mold, which then would be used to produce the wax patterns. It's a round-about method but more waxes can be produced from then on. I need to get information on shrinkage rates of the mold material and wax, so I can adjust the CAD model to suit.
