    Need small item digitized

    Good Afternoon,
    I have a small railroad style coupler that I need digitized. It is 1/8" scale, which makes it about 6" long and about 2" square. There are only two pieces, the main body and the knuckle.
    I need the output file to be inportable into BobCad. I would like to make a mold to produce wax casting patterns so I can make cast steel working couplers.
    I can send pictures of the coupler if needed.
    Thanks,
    Martin

    I have a laser scanner, and I have BobCAD. If you want me to take a look e-mail me some pix to mike@mcpii.com

    Why not just put your part in silicone rubber, then when cured release it and make your wax molds in the rubber mold. That is how I do my small parts.
    I use a 2 part mold rubber, you can get on Ebay.
