3D Printing Our Parts?

Anyone thought about 3D printing the Facia for a double din + buttons? We must be able to club together and make it happen between us for a fraction of the price?

I would be interested in this,

Is there any copy right issues? I don't know. We have a number of 3D printers at work and all they seem to be used for is by the techs to print out star wars figures...

Would be much cheaper if we could do this?

Can anyone scan a file of the surround?

Watched a demo a few weeks ago on the HP sprout, with 3D scanner it just copies what ever you put on the scan and you can print it out.

If someone can produce the file (s) I can ask people to try and print?

We have different type of Printers which offer a better finish.

Thanks

Is there a copyright issue on items out of production? I guess whomever owns the tooling or rights to produce might be upset

^ The Cars out of production doesn't mean the double din / facial / switches / parts manufactures are.

I don't know if your allowed to copy them that's all,

If someone could produce the file in autocad or similar I can try and print out.

Well if the printers can print the full item including grille then all we need is a scanner which we can rent, I'd just need the original double din item. Failing that, there's probably some whizz bang way of spec'ing this in CAD as you say - might ask the fiancée as she does CAD models.
