It can be automated via a turntable (which I opted not to get, since I mainly scan larger format items) but I use an Ikea Lazy Susan to scan smaller things.
I would think scanning a complete part, instead of designing it from scratch would be slightly faster?
problem is I don't have any complete sets to start from. lol.. I do have the Flagg... so maybe i'll start there? ;0
I think the one benefit of 3D "sculpting" is that you can improve upon the original. Many Joe vehicle parts were under-engineered and prone to fragility, especially after the passage of time has taken its toll. For example (one I've used frequently lately), the steering vanes on the Killer WHALE. You could scan these, but you might end up with the same problem. They definitely need beefed up. Also, I don't know what kind of copyright laws might come up if you tried to sell an exact copy, whether a digital file or printed final product. Could be tricky.
But hey - I'd love to see what a newly 3D printed Flagg would look like. If I ever have the time to get back into it, I'll definitely start making sturdier repro parts for my vehicles, as well as custom parts. I have a number of True Heroes and other non-Joe stuff in various stages of customizing the old fashioned way. Scratch building cockpit interiors is a slow and somewhat frustrating process at times - it would be so much easier to draw a seat and control panel in 3D and print it out.
