Ive not tried the stratasys stuff yet but will try it out soon, ive got a contact for them in the UK if you want to get a quote www.3dprintbureau.co.uk Another option which ive used to make the internals on wishbones in f1 is aquacore from Aero consultants http://www.aero-consultants.co.uk/category.php?category=335&name=Aqua+Water+Soluble+Mandrel+Materials You lay up and cure the part then blast out the core with a pressure washer

I have tried using polystyrene and other synthetic sponge materials.. but I have had difficultymelting , burning and dissolving them completely ... Anyone ever tried something similar on a less industrial level? Check out the link below: LINK: http://www.caddedge.com/stratasys/3d-printing-blog
