I did look into the 3D printed moulding sand after visiting the advanced manufacturing center at CSIRO in Clayton Victoria a few years ago. It is true that you can print one off sand cast moulds but from memory the cost was in the 1000s.
You may be better off working with a pattern maker. The now retired pattern maker at my work built a mould for a custom triple webber setup for his Cortina. Pretty cool. At least you'll get to use it more than once. An alternative might be 3D printing the mould masters. These would generally be treated with a carbide embedded epoxy since the moulding sand is abrasive. Again, getting a pattern maker involved would save a lot of time/ pain if going the route of casting.
