Imagine loading an irregular block of metal, or a finished curved part, into a single station and walking away with precisely cut samples, no specialized machining expertise required. Scan-to-Sample from Los Alamos National Laboratory makes that possible by weaving 3D scanning, design software and computer-guided cutting into one continuous digital thread, running from the first scan straight through to the finished part. The system captures the true shape of the starting ma…
