Companies who laser-scan carbon fibre to produce moulds

[70discuss70]

Does anyone know any companies who can laser-scan carbon fibre panels?

The end game being to use the scans to produce moulds and reproduce in an autoclave.

Maybe also post in the "Computers, Gadgets " etc. section, I'm sure there was a question in there recently about 3D scanning and replication.

Sounds expensive what are you making?

Have a look at AGN Composites

Have a look at 3D printing companies, they often have laser scanning to allow part reproduction.
They may also be able to produce moulds depending on the specs required.

Best bet would be to take wet lay carbon or glass splash moulds from your existing components. If you can figure out draw and where splits need to be depending on how complex the parts are then you wont have to start from the beginning with patterns. (Which incur machining and hand finishing costs) Any pictures of said components?
