Looking at the costs... the 3-D scanner is not too bad @ $3000 ... but the
'printers' range from about $15k-$30k !! Yikes !
If there was a demand for a certain part, I could see a club like C.A.T.
taking one to someone that has the equipment and paying for a part to be
reproduced...then having a mold made and casting a quantity. Hard to say if
the cost/selling price would be justified .
It sure is an interesting technology to reproduce intricate obsolete parts,
though...

Duke- I would have no idea what answers would apply to your questions. The
cost might be prohibitive to the thought. I would vote for Theo as, in my
opinion, he is as sharp a member we have but Im certain he is one of
several.
I want excluded tho. I really didnt think anyone would consider the
investment
but perhaps the cost could be investigated.

Where would this equipment be set up? Who would run it? Who decides what
is produced?
Duke
looks like the savior of many old
things that you can no longer find parts for.
With something like this we can keep planes flying forever.
Check this out. You may need this some day.
This is pretty amazing information.
