The cool thing about this is that it just takes the model and cut it out accordingly. A more quality machine is the Parts Fabricator that Ford is starting to place in all of its dealerships. It receives a digital blueprint, not much different than is used for the original to be made and it will laser out the part into solid steel, carbon, plastic, etc. The machine costs an arm and a leg, but image the solid steel wow figure. That thing would last a while.
