OK - A little off topic, but Andrei Samardac's "Loft Scan" and 3D printing can certainly lead to this:

Ivan Sentch in Auckland, New Zealand is building a "plug" from a sliced 3D model and a 3D printer. The plug is a full size form from which a fiberglass car body is made. His 3D printer has a 6" x 6" x 6" capacity, so the plug is printed in smaller pieces and assembled like a puzzle.

I find it interesting how 3D modeling and 3D printing is driving creativity.

Im surprised there are not more replies here...
well I have to say this is cool. I have actually been thinking about using the same (almost the same) for an idea I had about printing out some large objects, piece by piece from a 3d printer.

anyhows, this is really cool! keep us posted.

The Loft Scan reminded me of the 3D Printer software that slices your model into horizontal layers:

No reason MoI can't divide your solid model into manageable blocks (based on the 3D printer's work envelope) to feed into the printer software.
