In 2014, when the engine block cracked together with H2O met oil, the Delage dry reason to a halt

With no replacement parts or master drawings to become by, together with alongside few people having the traditional manufacturing skills, Grant Cowie looked for choice ways of rebuilding the complicated 16-valve engine.

He decided that using digital engineering to clone the master block would live the nigh accurate, efficient together with non-destructive method to teach the auto dorsum upwardly together with running, equally the traditional wooden blueprint method would live prohibitively expensive together with mightiness brand several useless blocks earlier i skillful one

H5N1 local atomic divulge 26 foundry kind the engine using the 3D-printed mould, together with therefore it was finished alongside traditional  machinists work.

After the engine was installed, at that topographic point was an enormous feel of relief when the Delage turned over successfully.  "It is a considerable achievement for all those involved and, mightiness I say, quite an achievement for Australian engineering," he said.

hither is that same auto inward 1914 racing inward Lyon French Republic inward the 750-kilometre French Grand Prix.
