Have a look at this clip and see what you think-I was amazed....!

Like recent developments in 'rapid prototyping' and the like, some of this stuff is akin to 'magic' I reckon. Hope it's of interest.

5xAxis Milling

Hi Brian

An interesting site. The programming capability is constantly improving.

Thanks for the post.

The really clever bit is to 3D scan the item so that it can be put into the programme without getting your pencil out.

Indeed Druid!

You've reminded me of how NASA spent all that money developing a ball-point pen that could write in the weightless vacume of space......

Meanwhile, the Russians just used (you guessed it!)....

a pencil....!

Wonder if they could produce items like ported pistons from solid, - and what the cost would be?
