The last place I worked had that capability.
We would use a fero arm to scan a part into autocad and e-mail it to Sulzer STURM (a division of the company in Virginia).
They had a 3D printer that made a part out of a corn starch type of plaster which was used in the mold making process. More accurate than a regular casting so less machine work needed to remove excess material.
