CGI scanning digitizer from VM-16 for milling
Does anyone know what it would take to reconfigure a CGI RE-1000 back to cnc milling? CGI (Capture Geometry Inside) used a Milltronics VM-16 and built a machine that ran a large face mill across a plastic molded part that was encased in a plastic resin. The machine faced off thin slices and optically scanned the cut part and combined the information to give a 3-d rendering of the molded part. I was wondering if anyone knows if it is a regular 3 axis VM-16 just running a program with a video scanning system or is it a special 2 axis (X and Z) set-up that would be unable to be used for 3-axis milling.
