 Anyone ever see this site before? http://www.emachineshop.com/ I just downloaded their software tonight and have been playing with it a little bit... Designing some of the things I don't have the time to weld/fab up in my shop myself or just don't care to. I'm seeing billet parts everywhere I look now. The keys on this keyboard could be billet... and... You there, looking at this screen now... yes YOU! You with the glasses... did you know those glasses could be made of billet?!?!?!?! Muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Pretty cool, but there's something about it that is lacking to me. Not sure what it is, because I have not been able to play with it much. Maybe this weekend, I can put my heatsheild in there and see how much it would cost for them to make them.

i wouldnt feel comfortable paying for something that i designed in that software, it would most likely not be 100% accurate!

They can export, from information that is saved in the image format, and basically use that information to make the product. Sorta like, if you wanted to make a name plate. They import the file into another program that gives them all the information they need as far as size and dimensions. They can cut the peice and then export parts of the information from the file to say a water jet or lathe and it is then loaded into the machine. At that point, the machine simple cuts out the design you drew.
The main thing I would be worried about would be copyright or intellectual rights(?) viloations. But it could be a great way to try out ideas and prototyping. Depending on price.
Then again... there's always cardboard and foam for that sorta stuff.

I think he's saying that if HE designed it that the part wouldn't be accurate. The program can only be as good as the person using it! LOL!
