NEVER run out of spare parts...No Matter How Old!

[Sanctifier]

Here's something that's really ...

Collectors, Restorers and other enthusiasts really have headaches to keep older cars running.
The shortage and often absence of OEM replacement parts makes maintenance very difficult.
Often this forces the 2nr to "bastardise" his cherished toy... UNTIL NOW!

Here's new technology that allows us to take a worn out part... scan it in 3D... and DUPLICATE it in plastic,
to allow molds to be made... or a CNC machine-centre to duplicate it EXACTLY like the original part.

More details, video and original link here...

This has been around for about 5 years, the Automotive Collage I attended has a 3D scanner/printer

you can get small 3d printers off ebay

still very cool and i never get sick of seeing them

Some stupid Trini is going to duplicate a worn out part to end up with a NEW worn out part (that is, a part with dimensions outside of acceptable tolerances) and then wonder why the machine is not working properly.

lol, i can see that happening over here too

theres a few good DIY 3d printer plans floating around the net

soooo,,,,,,,,,,,if you have an old part,how the scanner will scan that part for the cnc machine to duplicate it,,,,nice find but a machine to build a new part will be nice

[Goolie]

thats nice but i wonder how long does the process take in terms of waitin period.. and also it might be a nice price too.. but in the long run u get something original so it should be worth the wait.

[bushwakka]

u wud also need metallurgical analysis of the part where necessary to reproduce it to spec tho

^^^aha!!!! was thinking the same thing......cool though....
