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...

That is awesome!

Ditto on Joe's comment!

The applications are endless!

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

Regarding locating a vendor using this technology:

I work heavily with this and related 3D design & manufacturing technologies.

Search on Rapid Prototyping vendors in your local area
using this particular scanner. This is fairly common technology. Ask lots of questions
before you hire them as prices and experience vary.

I can help if you need assistance.

Max,
Check with Al Maynard.
I think that he still has a few of the intakes and some other 302 hemi parts.
I also seem to remember that there were more intakes made than there were sets of heads.
