I did read back to your post and kinda liked the idea! One could
always upgrade the controller and steppers. My catch was the
software. I didn't know of any that could handle digitizing without
chunking body parts to acquire it and even then it might be
propietary to their hardware.?? (that is until Dan pointed out a few)
I am a traditional machinist making the transition to CNC. I
already use CAD extensively, but just haven't had the opportuinity to
bridge the gap.

If I could resolve the software end, I just may have to build one of
those animals in addition to the probe/digitizer setup I anticipate
for the ST2000.
