Couple that with some 3d modeling for 3d printing and you'll be in business. You could design both subtractive (material removal) and additive (3d printing) prototyping & manufacturing.
Myself and a business partner purchased a high end 3D printer last year to do prototyping.
We are looking for a 3D scanner that we can afford today.
In the future we will print out a part and then finish the critical dimensions on a machine tool.
Great time to enter the machine field.
