I work with high-accuracy (<0.001" level) 3d laser scanning, rapid prototyping/rapid casting/direct sintered manufactuing of prototype parts, and the back and forth with CAD involved in these processes.
Higgins, a lot has changes since those days. I've had clay models that someones carved by hand and a model that was crated via surfaces generated in CATIA from a laser scan of that clay. then made by an RP machine, both painted, sitting in front of the person who modeled the original, and they could not tell the difference if their life depended on it.
I wish I could speak of examples from my work that involve such tech but everything I can think of is bound by some heavy NDA requirements.
