[Mgs] unusual machine

[Paul Hunt]

I don't have a problem in component scan data being sent to any number of
machines whether for prototyping in plastic or production in metal, there is
nothing new in that, it's been used to reproduce human skulls in plastic e.g.
of mummies or decomposed bodies for facial reconstruction and Formula 1 parts
production for some years.  What I don't see is how the beams can scan inside
assembled bearings and meshed gears and the like.

  What you may have missed was the comment that the piece, once approved of,
  could be sent to a CNC machining center, as a program, and manufaactured
  from that. Or, if needed as a casting the part could be used to create a
  casting mold.

  I think that it is a really neat concept.
