I understood one of them to say that from the plastic part, a mold could be
created.

|Not only that. That machine only makes that white plastic model. It's the
|same as the one they copied. So what's the gain? Really nothing. Perhaps
|they got a drawing out of the process to follow when one makes the real
|part
|out of the correct material.
|The real gain is for the CNC machine programmer who does not need that
|plastic part, only what the copy machine made that appears on the computer,
|so he can put it in as a program into the machines computer. He still has
|to determine where to start the machining and what tools to use, etc.
|But as Jay Leno is, it's all just a joke.
