The last couple of weeks was shopping around a single part that will be done by investment casting. It is part of 4 other parts to make up an assembly.
Was suggested that I consider getting all parts 3D printed and shake out the design as it will exist. Obviously $$$ but end product would benefit from a more integrated design.
So this vid gave me a new appreciation of the use of 3D printing in design. (yeah I'm old and out of touch)
Anyway the vid below covers a whole lot of interesting stuff design and production wise from what appears to be a start up OEM "crate engine" manufacturer. Couple of other vids show the production shop. Lots of basic stuff to a high volume manufacturer being adapted by a smaller OEM.
Anyway---to keep in short jump into the vid at about 10:45
