Default Centrifugal casting........

Anyone able to detail how badges can be reproduced with this ( centrifugal casting) process. Have had it basically explained B4, but it obviously did'nt stick very well.
Not that I want to do this, you understand!!
But how good are the results? And is there any way of telling if they were made by this method, is what I'm really interested in finding/knowing here!
Cheers !
Steve

Steve,
thanks for the link. Should have thought of that !!!
Access to the technology & using multiple moulds would speed up production of virtually perfect copies, including wear & faults?
That leaves us with metal quality & attachments (sliders,etc) as the only ways of distinguishing a copy, by this process, it would seem. If an origional is used for each set of moulds,that is. Though copies of copies would probably deteriorate over time. As some seem to do, much like a worn Die would do also.
Cheers !
Steve
