	I love 3D printing and what it can offer us retro car enthusiasts. This is an amazing use of it : www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-27/saving-the-last-delage-type-s-grand-prix-car/8310958

	I'm with you on that one Koenigsegg 3D print thier turbocharger housings due to not being able to cast the complex compressor housing scrolls.

	Great to see, I've seen a few of the owners cars (probably including the Delage many years ago), & they are amazing. Even finding someone to cast the iron block from their 'printed' sand mold sounds amazing, I heard they still made one, cut it up to check things & decided to enlarge waterways for No.2. Reminds me of a new Lancia Lambda engine block machined from billet alloy by another club member.

	The scanning is reasonably easy to do, but it's impressive that they convinced the CSIRO to help them, and were allowed the use of their special 3D sand printer. I'm sure that's not a cheap machine! research.csiro.au/metals/add-manufacturing/aus-innovation/voxeljet-sand-3d-printer/

	I know Jay Leno has his own huge 3D printer to prototype parts for his car collection. Afterwards he puts the design through his 3-axis CNC to remake it. He kept a lot of his cars running via this method.

	Makes me wonder if Pur-Sang could have helped them out considering the amount of things they create from scratch.

	I don't think it's quite as 'world first' as they make out but it's certainly good to see how things are quickly progressing. Will be as widespread and affordable as later cutting and cnc soon i hope.

I 3D print loads of castles in sand when I'm on holiday.

	There's a guy over here that builds and sells audi sport quattro replica's. He has build some really nice stuff. For a pike's peak replica they scanned a cast iron 5 cilinder engine block and had that CNC milled from billet aluminium. Quite impressive to see. I bet the invoice was impressive too...

	3D printing is more widespread than you might think,pretty mutch 90% of all F1 exhaust systems and turbos are 3D printed and some of it pure artwok..
