It would be good for that. I've been casting plastics of several different types for various projects, and it's a PITA to create a master, make a mold, etc.....

20 minutes on SolidWorks and press the print button would be cool.

Patterns (masters) made out of wood? That would be a PITA. That's one of the tough parts of metal casting--the woodworking tools and time needed (for sand casting).
