Recently toured a restoration shop here in Wisconsin that has a 3-D scanner
and a "printer" that creates a model of the part scanned. From that they
can CNC mill the part. Have no idea of the cost. Probably not cheap but
also not terribly expensive based on how quick they can do it. Pretty
impressive!

Subject: [Fot] TR4 main bearing caps
In my never ending quest to never toss anything I am trying to rescue a TR4
block that I got without main bearing caps. I have spare caps for the front
and center caps that are close enough for line honing but not a rear cap. My
machinist suggested that I could get a cap modeled and CNC'd to fit. We
talked about whether there would be anything gained from billet caps all
around. Has anyone done this?
