MidTenMaker just purchased one of the best Modeling and Reverse Engineering tools available. SpaceClaim. We’re exited to finally be able to bridge the gap between 3D scanning and 3D printing with new solid model design and reverse engineering capabilities.

In the coming months after training and getting familiar with the software we’ll be exited to offer new 3D Modeling services to our customers.

Worked up this 9mm speed loader in my CAD program and then 3D printed it. Works like a charm. Saves your fingers especially in cold weather.
