Evidently this is how China and others can copy anything, with or without U.S. patents and then repop it with cheap off-shore labor..........

Re: Cool Tooling
 

The fact also that it will copy a part with moving parts and the copy comes out with the moving parts operational is amazing.........

Ken and I saw something similar to this at SEMA...but the one we saw was a hand held scanner... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

That is awesome!

Ditto on Joe's comment!

The applications are endless!

Re: Cool Tooling
 

The interesting thing about this is the fact that this is becoming old technology and is beginning to trickly down to the enthusiast level. I'm sure it's expensive but those "copy" machines used to be the size of a small bedroom and now they have become handheld. I find it mind boggling that it built that adjustable wrench all at once and it was functional instead of producing all three components (body, sliding jaw, lead screw) and having a human assemble them outside the machine. That's kinda scary!

Does anyone know of a machine shop or business that can make me a part using this technology?? I have found plenty of companies that sell the machines, but I only need one part. Thanks
