+1, was just going to ask that. one of the issues with solid models is they can be hard to work with, and editing can be a big challenge.

What I find interesting about this is being able to pull critical dimensions, and planes for designing parts that mount on complex objects such as a modern AC compressor that needs a mount that bolts to several places on the engine, ITB linkage mounts, ITB manifolds etc.

Need to get some cad files/3d scans of my parts

Help appreciated
For the fun of it I do work in SolidWorks for 3D printing of scale model parts (+/- 0.05mm). I have often wondered about scaling this up for true automotive restoration work. I'd be willing to draw up a part and see how this could work with CNC. I'd also be curious for 3D printing of plastic parts. I use a service that produces prototypes for companies so the resolution is exact and there's no layering effect like the current desktop printers have.

RW... excellent "fun of it" idea. Am sure many would be interested in outcome, particularly test results from part(s) in use. I'll support idea and offer my '80 Targa ('85 engine) as one test bed. PM me to discuss if interested.
