The local college has an industrial 3d scanner and printer that I can use for making repo parts. What parts do you need remade?

It does do lost wax. We have a whole FabLab https://www.mcc.edu/FABlab/fab_equipment.shtml
We have that dimension 3d printer at work. It does an OK job but looks unfinished unless you sand the part down. Something like the lizard head would look really rough. You need an Objet 3d printer. 3D scanning is such a let down, all it does is provide you with a template to redraw the model. At least that is my experience with our Roland 3d scanner.

Those look like they might have a copy right on them Center, haven't you learned anything today?
I'm sure the OP is aware, but as some might not.. this isn't like hitting a copy button on a scanner/printer. Scanning at best gives you a faceted part (depending on how detailed the scanner is), and perhaps some weird glitchy polygons here and there which will likely have to get cleaned up before you send it to the 3d printer.
Still, as 3d printers / scanners come down in price, or more universities and maker labs start buying this equipment it will finally become as mainstream as scanning / printing documents.

Hell yeah it is, just need one of these.
I'm currently printing mods for my TSPP.

Its a lot easier said than done. 
Just out of curiosity what type of printer do you have access to?
Received.
What do people want ?
Does this topic need its own heading?
Your signage and saucers are nice examples.
There are a ton of printers out there, approx. 56,000, and many are sitting idle.
It's all about the designs that come as STL files. This is what can be downloaded from Thingiverse and other sites.
A drawing can be a start. It may take some time to make a 3d model, but not too long.
So, lets see some pictures of what you'd pay for. It does take some effort, but I assume a price can be negotiated.
It really can be an art form. Most of the time prints are in a single color and may be hand painted. With a little more effort, multiple colors in a single print may be posible.
Come on, comission a work of art for yourself.
Thanks.
