When all the bobs have been set, the cross-bar is lifted off the bridges and rested on a vertical wall e.g. a sheet of MDF and the shape transferred to a sheet of paper pinned to the MDF. In this way each station on the bridges, is copied onto individual sheets of paper. I think it is a brilliantly simple and cheap method and one I would use, Cheers Charlie |

Think you might be missing the point on ownership, "I paid good money for it and I will chose what I will allow to be done with it", most customers will not allow any photos apart from the ones required to get his work done while it is in the care of a third party. Some of the cars never see the light of day and as far as I'm concerned respect others wishes. Could be related to marriage (admin delete last comment if I have overstepped the line)

Cliffrod's description is not a machine, but rather a bridge with strings at stations and plumb-bobs on the end of each string. So for example, the bridge is at one of the stations marked on the car in the photo. Each string is adjusted until the plumb-bobs just touch the car; then the bridge is carried over to the paper chart and the points of the plumb-bobs are marked onto the paper and a line drawn joining the points; and then the station number is marked on the shape that is produced. Then the bridge is taken back to the car to the next station and the process repeated. Using something light and portable such as patio tube, would make for a sturdy bridge. Distance from the centre of the car, can be controlled with a parallel string-line set on stands, down near floor-level. |

The days of controlling the shapes data like that are gone. 3D scanners are everywhere. I have a small one that attaches to an Ipad. It's not going to collect the kind of data for that kind of thing yet but give it a few years and every smart phone will have the technology. It'll just be a 3D Photo. Your kids and grand kids will look at a 2D image like it's an 8 track tape, video tape or an LP.
