Certainly my friends and I were discussing the possibility 10 years ago for making replacement parts for veteran vehicles. I seem to recall hearing that distortion and internal stresses are a big problem. (as is releasing the part from the base plate). The distortion issue can possibly be addressed by modifying the original model to compensate, and internal stresses by a post-manufacturing heat treatment. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
