[Land-speed] new toy- 3D scanner?

[John Szalay]

FWIW:
 I forwarded the information on the scanner and the printer to a friend that 
is still in the business,
they are seriously looking at purchasing both to help their operation.
the output of the scanner can be in XYZ or IGES  (among others) so they are 
looking into
feeding that into their MasterCam  software to allow them to cut parts on 
the CNC machine tools.

Thanks for the link.....
