In honor of my interview last Sunday for Jay Leno's Garage, here is a video brought to my attention by book designer Tom Heffron. The piece showcases a super-cool machine called the NextEngine 3D Scanner that creates a 3D digital pattern for any part. You can then use Dimension 3D printer to make a plastic prototype of the part.
Note that writer Lindsay Brooke pointed out that rapid prototyping has been around since the 1980s. What's relatively new about this development is the fact that the machine used in the clip is quite affordable. You can pick a scanner up for about $3,000--check it out here. Hmmm . . . does your garage need one? Mine certainly does!
P.S. More on my visit with Jay last Sunday to come shortly.
