The second episode was interesting mostly for the use of a 3D scanner as part of the design process for the Corgi bi-plane. The new scanner has been used by the Scalextric team for some of the models that will appear in the 2022 range.

Simon, who introduced the scanner on the TV programme, is the researcher for Scalextric and brand manager for Scalextric and Pocher. He is pretty excited by how the scanning technology will revolutionise the accuracy of modelling of older cars - ie ones where manufacturer's CAD files are not available. The CAD files are only a start, but they do give an accurate foundation for the design process.

Looks like more trains and scenery tips next week.
