3D Digitiser or Scanner I'm looking for a 3D Scanner or Digitiser to scan parts into Alibre (or any common CAD format) for our Waterjet. We often get old parts, like old gears, where we have to make a new set based on the existing parts. Has anyone got...

API in the real world Has anybody done any useful stuff with the API yet ? Kim :D
