Yeah.. it got me thinking like that too !

I've not seen any of the stainless parts yet but the alloy ones are pretty
darned good. Ideal when you've a damaged 'something' made of unobtanium...
you can 3D scan it, correct the scan in ProEngineer etc and then make a
new one :-)

So many toys - so little time !
