Anyone know how the dimensions of a part are scanned in? What's needed?

Would I have to measure Charlez Theron for instance? Oh the pain.

Ah, you too have watched the beginning of the new Italian Job (dont get me started on the name) frame by frame to see if she falls out of her top?


Sadly, after seeing her in full 1080p glory in Hancock, I did see a reason to stick with SD sometimes. Not that I'd turn her away on a long, cold night...

You need a body sized 3D scanner..

Incidentally, as someone mentioned: http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/384979/3d-printed-gun-parts-are-actually-spare-parts-for-the-printer


While we're at it.. I own a lathe - I could use that to produce an actual gun.. arresting anyone with a machine capable of making parts and bits that look like they might possibly could potentially maybe look like a gun part on a bad day is surely the route to madness.

Madness you say?

Think we're already there old fruit

[aaronjb]

Good point, better hide the lathe and heaven forbid I thought about buying a mill or CNC machine to go with it..

Yes, especially as there's no mention of the Police seizing the artwork, bless'em. 

"Right, then, the game's up. We're taking this printer of yours."
"OK. I'm just off to my local hackspace with this USB stick, then"
"Hack what?".

Sounds like the kettle's on, the pot's warmed and you're poised over it with a spoonful of Tetley to me.

Great technology. Can it produce a woman?....

Won't the ammo show up in an X-ray, or are they printing plastic bullets to fire with it?

They tested ICE bullets on myhbusters so god knows what might be dreamt up and used in the future.

I really must be getting (or already got ?) old. I needed to use Google  I thought it was a bloke from the name

Hmmmmm....no good to smuggle on to planes then. It would just be a water pistol once through check-in.

You lazy bugger.
What's wrong with a hacksaw and file?

It's the explosive part that the difficulty.
It's a shame that there isn't an easily obtainable explosive liquid where you could just pop out and buy a litre or two for about 129.9p per litre

Might dissolve the plastic though

I just meant to make a firearm - not neccessarily plastic

For when you absolutely, positively, need something dead.

Isn't diesel better for that
