Have you looked at handheld 3d scanners? The first socket they made for my prosthetic leg was done with a scanner. It fit like a glove. I'd bet you could print sections and glue them together. Then use that model to cast say an aluminium mandrel to form sheet metal around. Cast iron would be better, but a lot hotter/heavier to work with. We did aluminium in high school shop class - not very hard to get good results.

I have a bunch of platinum iridium spark plugs and points. I'm going to 3d print a ring and then use the lost PLA technique to make the mold. Just need the Ruby and the printer.

I took an AutoCad class in college back in the 90's - was my favorite class. You can work with Fusion 360 and draw about anything.
