Jack, I checked out the video and it is the most fascinating thing I've seen in a long time. The affect on phonograph collecting would be very positive in my opinion. Yes, people will abuse such technology but if you need that special part to repair that special machine . . . . it would be great. A person would have to start out with a part or pieces of a part for the technology to be of some value.

There are several US companies developing this technology, for example https://www.nextengine.com/ There is a prototype version of software called Humpty Dumpty that can scan broken pieces and digitally reassemble them prior to sending the images to this next generation CNC tool. _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
