Has anyone printed up a mold cavity that can then be filled with foam and used in the lost foam casting process ?

or for making waxs to use in lost wax castings

thanks for your ideas or direction

... I've done something similar with a milled original form and a silicone mould for chocolate -- but this could be a printed object and the result from wax or foam too:
