About a year ago, I was taking some advance Cad classes and our cad company has one of those. All I can say is that it is amazing. They were making covers for jump drives (as samples for us) with the companies logo on it. Once programmed they were done in no time. Truly remarkable. Actually $1700.00 to $2000.00 isn't really that expensive considering all the time you would save in labor.

I saw a show about cars a few years back and they were visiting Jay Leno's collection and he needed a part for a steam engine and a guy was demonstrating a machine in which you inserted blocks of plastic and then put what you wanted to make in the machine and lasers would take over a million measurements and then it would make the part you scanned and moving parst actually worked but I think they said it was like 200K. I think I'm going to get one of these. Even if the plastic isn't good for lures you could use it to make 2 piece molds for pouring plastic, so many uses, it is hard to imagine.
