Default Rapid prototyping parts
I have a part that I've made and I'd like to have it scanned to be cleaned up, straightened up and a mirrored version made as well so that I can make a mold for it to make the parts out of carbon fiber. Anyone know anything about this stuff? Any ideas on how much it costs?

Pics for reference of what I'm wanting copied. They are for my tail lamps

Do a goggle search for rapid prototyping on the internet and you will come up with all sorts of links. There is a good chance that you may find someone in your area. This is a pretty hot topic in the manufacturing industry.

I googled it before I posted but didn't see what I was looking for. I tried again but searched local and found a place and emailed them. Either way it looks like it's going to be cost prohibitive for me.

Where's that Greg Weld guy when you need him? He has a son in the CF business.
