Car SOS: Cloning Classic Parts

Channel 4 series, Car SOS, completed the interior restoration of a rare Ford Cortina by using an Artec Space Spider scanner. Artec’s ambassador in the UK, Central Scanning was able to quickly image the impossible-to-find center console piece using the scanner (and some helpful evaporating spray to highlight textures on the dark surfaces). A high end 3D printer then churned out a completely accurate, reverse-engineered duplicate to wrap up the automotive preservation project.
