I can't wait to see what capabilities this will add!

Congratulations Joe. I looked it over and it looks very interesting. How do you plan on using it.

After I get to know the software, I am going to use it to make 3D carvings for outdoor signs, Halloween props, large reproductions of figurines, and a lot more.

Imagine scanning the sides of a gun that is equipped with a laser, a scope, a bi-pod, and a couple of other add-ons. Now you create the file that will carve out a glove fit foam insert for a gun case and line it with cloth, or leather, or velvet, or ??? What would a case like that be worth? I have one gun that is worth $12,000.00 and it does not currently have a case.

Imagine scanning and reproducing tombstones found in old graveyards, making replacement wood carved parts for old German coo-coo clocks, scanning and reproducing lamp parts for a lamp set where one was dropped and broken. The uses are wide and varied.
