Alas I am a beginner...
I tried looking up West Virginia Tracer and found tracer bullets! I wish I knew what DTI meant.
I do have a CAD program but even with that cutting a profile seems like a tedious task. The curves are not simple arcs but splines, like the french curve templates used in ancient manual drafting.
I agree that stacking and shaping the plates would be the way to go.
As an experiment I made a touch probe some time ago, and might try attaching this to my 3D printer to gather coordinates. My Rong Fu has too much backlash with its non ball screw table, while there is almost none with the printer.
Thanks for help!
