Re: [Phys-l] 3-d printer

The 'scanner' was another bit of the 'fluff' in this piece. (IMHO)
The final product was NOT identical to the originally scanned wrench!!!
Actual input to the 'printer' is a 3d CAD file.
or g-code.

The biggest question I have, perhaps related to the you-tube video of the wrench, but perhaps not. If you are trying to print off a complicated machine with interior parts that are physically contiguous with other moving parts. How would the scanner be able to scan these interior pieces in general. I suspect not. Would the movable jaw adjustment screw of the wrench be a subset of this scenario??
