benjamin j Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I have a 3D scanner and printer I can use at work. The scanner looks like a turntable and you set a part on it turn it on and it rotates. It makes a 3D file that can be sent to the printer. If we had some way of working together we could copy a part that we have and send it to another member of the forum. There are a couple of parts that I need that I could use the plastic replica to make a casting for and I know there are members who have that part on their car. So if you were missing a trunk hinge for an extremely rare car and I had that car I could easily make a copy for you. Would this be something you think we could do as members of a forum like this one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luv2Wrench Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yes, I would be interested. I'm looking at doing the same thing as I have a set of cast iron ends to a muffler and I need more copies. I hesitate to send the originals to Cattail for duplication so scanning and sending the print would be a good option. Price is always an issue. I also hesitate to ship the parts anywhere as I've never seen another set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Mellor NJ Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Imagine settlements on the moon or Mars, you could just email needed parts to a 3D printer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
