3D Printed Boxster Parts

[Ben006]

Doesn't koenigsegg use 3D printed turbo for their latest cars? (Low production volume+design complexity)

Shapeways allows you to print directly in some metal, (for other they print a wax model then die cast it, or for stainless steel they glue it together then substitute the glue for bronze if i remember, it's quite strong!).

I tried both stainless and bronze, worked perfectly.

Ben yeah I recall Mr. Christian saying that in one of his videos ....not sure which parts though maybe it's everything but the turbine and compressor rotors. Again maybe they just squeak the compressor blades as the masses are low....turbine? Would not want that 3D printed item sitting behind my head

I'd pay $100 for one of Bens plenums even in plastic,
there are tons of things that could be made,
RS style door pulls for 986,
I saw somewhere a guy printed a recepticle to hold the opener cable but used it to work with another handle instead of the pulls, now a kit for that for a few hundred would sell I would thing, as long as it had a bezel to replace the existing handle, even if it was a cover and the pulls were cut into the door card, just a thought
