I'm interested but can you find out more about what kind of mold he would use and what kind of material it would be cast in?

Quoted from Mneubey:Here's a video of the process that would be used. He said it's very durable, and that it shouldn't be an issue.
Regarding the vid and process, He also added: "This guy covers it ok. Basically you de-gas your silicon before doing a 2 part pour mold, which will give you a mold that would be able to handle pressure casting. This allows for crystal clear castings. If you didn't do this they would be very cloudy with micro bubbles."
Let me know if that covers it for most of you
But what kind of material will it be cast in? It needs to be something that can take the abuse of pinballs. There are lots of water clear resins.
Here are some options.

Should take cast thickness and durability into consideration.
