I came across the video when I was researching the "Batmowheel". Barney and I were talking about it this morning. And you know what happens when I get to thinking! 
Still digging up some info on the subject.

That is pretty cool, we have a Haas CNC Milling center and they do not use it to its full potential at all. I wonder of I can get Engineering to draw one up.......... lol

Roland if you found that one you probably saw this one in that thread as well then but nice technology to say the least.

My thoughts exactly, Roland. I'll watch the show, How it Made, and stoked at whats being produced but more so with the machine thats actually building, arranging..etc the part.

It has to take a year or more to write up the program for that stuff! Its not just program to make a cut here and there, tool clearance and angles have to be taken into account as well.
