No, you suggested that 3D scanning and 3000 bucks you can produce all kinds of products
I reverse engineer parts for our cars, some are printed in metal, some in plastic.
I don't 3D scan because I have done it where I last worked and all it was, was a basic frame work for CAD to be drawn around.
I can 3D print in many plastics and turn out a finished product in a day, depending on complexity on my resin printer here at home.
All of my CAD can be customized or modified as needed, a scan is like a photo and you are limited what you can do to it with any accuracy.
I have had some of my designs printed in metal (aluminum and stainless steel) by a 3rd party and their $100,000 machines produce some amazing results.
All I'm getting at is 3D scanning looks like amazing tech but in my experience it is not all its cracked up to be
