Mark, The probe is perfectly capable of scanning in the parts and the volute. Carving both sides of the volute (providing the Z-axis will accept it) is not a problem, the trick would be locating it accurately to cut both sides as separate operations. It can be done, but requires thought. I would bui...

Tim Owens is a member of this forum and works for Next Wave, the maker of the Shark. He can answer your question. The rest of us would be guessing.

Abi, It may be possible to create the types of molds you want just in the software, but it can be tricky. Scanning existing molds into your computer is well within the capabilities of the CNC Shark using the scanning probe. The scanning takes time, but only needs to be done once, then molds can be p...
