Hello Alfred and everyone,
if I understand this technology correctly, a scan or design file is required to make the 3D printer work its magic. Could we perhaps start a concise central list of who among us can make or provide such data, for reference as the technology develops?

I've been told it is actually a plastic sprayer.  It lays down layers of some-kind-of plastic from bottom to top.  You end up with a plastic part.  Is that correct?  The full size Aston Martin is a bit of hype.  It is plastic skins layed over a form, a full size mock-up, right? 

So it is usefull to make some of the molded plastic parts we need, like the sunvisor clips?
