Any chance you'll upload the .123d files?

Thanks for both ideas. I will give them both a shot. (I am a bit worried on how well 123D will pick up on the small thickness of a gear... Still hoping I can simply add the 3rd dimension to a 2D digital scan.)

regards.

hy, for this part i have used a cad software starting from 2 cilinder... you can scan too the plastic part, if it can be reproduced only extruding the image on the z-axis, .. you can use a scanner laser to get the 3D directly, see david laser scanner or othes same project to make 3D scanning with a webcam and a laser line:)

How did you make this gear? I have a cardboard clock kit that I would like to produce in plastic - I was thinking of scanning each part in 2-D and then adding in the 3rd dimension.I have been looking for a simple 2D to3D conversion - any ideas?

thanks
