I was checking out the website for the Nextengine 3D laser scanner which we are using in my classroom and came across a very interesting application on their Gallery page. Just go to the link below and then choose Gallery and then in the ART section you will see the Airflow frame. Click on it to start the video. https://www.nextengine.com/indexSecure.htm Quote
desoto1939 Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 At our local car club meeting they showed a video of this scanner. Jay had an exhust valve from an old Locomobile car and this was a sliding value that had developed a crack. They scanned the valved and then the machione then made a complete working copy of the valve in plastic. The valve did even work and slide up and down. The example was used to show that in case if you had an old part you could make a copy and then take it to a tool and die maker and get a new part made for you. They then took an 8 inch adjustable wrench and scanned this and made a fully working plastic copy and the wrench worked and the adjustement barrell made the jaws move in and out. It is amasing what the high tech industry is coming up with. Rich HArtung desoto1939@aol.com Quote
