    Hello,
    I am a model Railroader working in N scale 1:160. There are a few passenger cars that were built in the real world but will never be built in N scale. There was a short run in O 1:48 scale built from brass but that is it. A one time shot.
    I have one of these cars drawn up in Corel Draw 2D and would love to have someone convert this into a 3D format so they can be printed.
    I am absolutely new to this concept so I have no idea if this is even possible! Also what sort of fine detail can be achieved. The car body is about 6" long by 5/8" wide
    Thank you.

    Did you mean 0.6 inches long?

    You can also get an idea of what's possible by searching the site.

    While the cost per car is great what is the estimated cost to program?
