Excellent Brady.......this is what I'm starting to get my teeth into.......Both the subtractive process CNC and additive process 3D printing. Both distinct but complementary!
I just couldn't get my head around 3D drawing and design in Aspire.....not yet anyway. So I settled for DesignSpark Mechanical from RS parts.....the push / pull method was for me more intuitive process to use in 3D design. I haven't done scanning and importing the part that way yet and maybe this is where Aspire will shine once I get to doing scanning.......scanning is another field in itself!!
By all means keep posting your efforts in this area with some tech info......

Michael & Dick - Thanks for the kudos.
Mr Tavcar - Thank you as well. Yes, it is exciting stuff. Scanning is in many ways a lot like CNC. It's part science and part art/skill. The 3D printing stuff is pretty exciting too. For me, it has allowed me to look at 3D in new ways and while the methods for fabrication are different, the files can for the most part be shared between additive and subtractive processes. 3D printing requires that the model be 100% watertight or there will be problems slicing the model or it will do strange things when printing that the slicer doesn't show. For 3D CNC routing, all you really need is a skin or simple surface that is perpendicular to the Z axis. Aspire/VCP etc will make the edges straight walled and you can machine it as is.
More later...

That looks pretty cool! It may not be the most durable tape measure you have but one thing you can say is....ain't nobody else got one like it!

Brady, great and informative, as usual! The 4views jpg looks like rhino drawing, did you do all the design in aspire, or the cleanup in rhino? Thank, don

Brady....with the 3D printing....are you using ABS or PLA? What's your preferred filament type?
