Post subject: NEVER run out of spare parts...No Matter How Old! |
 |
|
Here's something that's really  ...
Collectors, Restorers and other enthusiasts really have headaches to keep older cars running.
The shortage and often absence of OEM replacement parts makes maintenance very difficult.
Often this forces the 2nr to "bastardise" his cherished toy... UNTIL NOW!
Here's new technology that allows us to take a worn out part... scan it in 3D... and DUPLICATE it in plastic,
to allow molds to be made... or a CNC machine-centre to duplicate it EXACTLY like the original part.
More details, video and original link here...

This has been around for about 5 years, the Automotive Collage I attended has a 3D scanner/printer
you can get small 3d printers off ebay
still very cool and i never get sick of seeing them |

Some stupid Trini is going to duplicate a worn out part to end up with a NEW worn out part (that is, a part with dimensions outside of acceptable tolerances) and then wonder why the machine is not working properly. |

| thats nice but i wonder how long does the process take in terms of waitin period.. and also it might be a nice price too.. but in the long run u get something original so it should be worth the wait. |
