It is so amazing for about 3 grand you can have a 3D scanner, even without the NextMachine 3D printer you can import these files to MasterCam CNC software and create tool paths to machine the part which was scanned. Cool Story - hey did you know Jay's shop roof is covered with a 54-kilowatt solar panel array... how cool!
