One of these would almost fit the description (Un-printer).
Waiting for the 'next' model with precision depth control and moltern material extraction.
That looks like a "dry run demo" it is really amazing, but not something for your average home workshop guy!Originally Posted by Pursang;O1131191038
Strokers Galore!
Top crank case, reed induction
A tight fit
Going well - looks like it'll just fit in! - Guessing an easier fitting three cylinder version will come if this development/pilot model looks like being successful? - keep going - glad to hear the 360 Hintz Yamaha is looking good! - will look in again in another month or so and will be expecting some more progress!

Concentrating on getting the 360 trail rideable.
Oil pump cover, air cleaner housing. Next a revamped starting system.

Many unanswered questions nonetheless. Typical kiwi I guess...
Reading elsewhere I gather that there is a mould that is filled with metal powder or an ingot which would be positioned above the ingate and the switch turned on. Could be done in an inert atmosphere eg. nitrogen, which is nice.

They're set up in an expensive part of town.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
I don't know what 'typical Kiwi' is, but this https://www.foundry-lab.com/ site gave me a 'typical Merican' impression: lots of boasting and zero information.
"This is not metal 3D printing - we call it Digital Metal Casting".
Yeah, right. But how is their DMC different from the Selective Laser Melting process that was used in producing my symmetrical-scavenge cylinder over a decade ago?

They reckon they're fast producing cast parts. Obviously unaware of Neil.
So, they print a sand mould, then use microwaves to melt an ingot in the feeder.
Besides the speed, which if true it is impressive, I don't see how this offers much advantage over additive manufacturing (DMS, powder bed fusion etc) which can achieve geometry not possible in casting, and incorporate hybrid process too (printing and machining at the same time)
