Need Help!- Musical Instruments

[Kevin Waldron]

Anyone have a F or G style mandolin and/or dreadnaught guitar(complete instrument) in a CNC format that they would be willing to sell or give.

We do have a laser scanner but our skill level is not such that we know how to convert the point cloud of a mandolin's complex compound curves in a program like Rhinocerous - Alibre to a clean stl kind of file.

Are there any expert that could or would be interested in converting point cloud data?

Not wanting to do this to make a living just interested in playing with the instruments. And making some to play.

Thanks, in advance. Point me in the right direction please. There was a site on the web that had this but it no longer active it was .http://www.luthiersautomation.com/mandolins.htm. They are not answering quiery.

Repost this question under RhinoCad section, you'll get an answer pretty fast. I've only ever had 1 part laser scanned and had to convert the point cloud. It's simple, you just apply mesh, but I can't remember the command right now and I'm not on my work computer so I don't have access to Rhino. Or post up you point cloud file in .3dm format, I'll do it for you real quick and repost it as a .stl
