Jumping in here just to follow because I too am interested...
From what I have seen of this, I noticed artisans creating their own custom molds ... which I'm guessing is consistent with the resin method.

As far as I know the resin method is more cost effective to start with. If you want to make a lot, you can invest in a 3D printer.
