Has anyone had any experience with the DigiMax 3D digitizer from Impulse? I want to digitize car bodies from models. Anything good or bad to know about it? Thanks, -Ray

I've had a Digimax sitting on a workdesk for a couple of months now, but have not really done much with in (other projects, etc.). It seems to be nicely made; is very simple to use, so I'd give it a good grade for the price. You will want to plan on drawing a grid or reference marks on whatever you digitize, as it's a manual "move the probe and click" device. Still, for things in the size range of most model kits, it's an affordable solution. — My thinking is if I could justify paying $3000+ for a digitizer, I could justify having someone else do my modelling for me! Happy new year., –Jeff

Jeff, Thanks for the digitizer info. Do you know anybody who specializes in doing digitizing as a service? -Ray

There are a number of facilities in my area (Northern Cal) from the very sophisticated laser scans to manual point by point. Depends on your budget and location. Acuris is one of them (415) 329 1920, talk to Eduardo. Arturo
