Extremely impressive, well done! I wonder if there would be any repercussions if Porsche found out about this?

Very cool!
At that level, sand casting is really as much art and experience as science. HIP post processing is very nice as well. Extremely impressive, well done! I wonder if there would be any repercussions is Porsche found out about this? Not quite the same because Porsche is known for being pretty vigilant, but I know a guy who reverse engineers current/recent production motorcycle engines including almost all internals built all of the major players using white light scans. They are then translated into Solidworks models for use in parts redesign, etc.. In ~3 years of doing it he hasn't received legal correspondence from any of the manufacturers. |

I used to RE semiconductor equipment parts from AMAT and LAM as well as others, the only time we got a letter was for assemblies that had patents, the individual parts we never had problems with (and a few of the assemblies I came up with ways to circumvent the patents, one they used a special adhesive and I designed the parts to be snapped together and it worked perfect and was cheaper) The key was our own packaging and not trying to pass the parts off as OEM, they had our part number and are just replacement parts. Back to the 3.6 blocks, you could scale them down and offer 3D printed versions for guys to put on their desk! |
