For my tuned classic motorbike I needed a custom made intake manifold. I started off measuring the length and angle needed for the part, then created it in a 3D application 

 

 

At ProtoSpace Utrecht I imported the file in the 3D printer app. 

 

 

After two hours printing this showed up :-)

After carefully removing the surrounding powder the part needed to be impregnated with super glue to make it durable.

 

 

 

 

Fitting

 

 

A rubber mold was made around the printed part and a wax model was casted, then an aluminum part was casted.
