A pecise 3D computer model of the Antikythera mechanism was produced using high precision CAT scanner, probably a Zeiss machine. From that a working model was built about 15 years ago.

Is this the one you're talking about? This device is amazing. To think it was made that long ago is incredible.

Almost makes you want to believe in prehistoric aliens.

Even more amazing - all the calculations for the design of the mechanism were done with slide rules!
