I wonder if they could just eliminate the middle-man and run the scan directly into a CNC machine? Jay probably has the $100,000 needed for a metal fabricating machine somewhere near the bottom of his pockets.
CNC machines aren't really equipped to deal with 3D models. all the operations required to create a part must be orchestrated by the operator. i mean, i'm sure someone has a setup that can figure it all out on its own, but i've never heard of one.

also, some parts simply cannot be machined - things with holes and voids inside them, for example, often must be cast.
on a similar note, there are things which cannot be cast or machined that only a 3d printer can create.
im just waiting for a metal-jet 3d printer. hell yeah.
