I believe you need 3d software also.

Thanks for sharing. I would love one to produce parts and accessories, could also make figures and vehicles (in parts).
I have access to Solidworks at Uni so could generate 3D models if I had one

In the Daily Mail article, they said it would retail at about £700 and has to have software, not sure if thats included
A bit hefty for the odd figure or tank part

Looks great.

Combine it with some 3d scanning software (http://www.david-laserscanner.com) you'll be able to build any tank you want.

Scan some 1/35 scale tanks and up scale them then start printing your own 1/16 tanks out.
