A fellow teacher of mine wanted to carve a camaro for his sons pinewood derby race. So he grabbed the full scale model off of Sketchup, scaled it down, and exported it as a .dxf. I imported it into Cut3d and about an hour later it was done. Here are some pics for your enjoyment:

CHEATER!!!!!!!!

 ;D

That is sweet! My son took home the goods when he was that age. It was a blast! We spent a lot of time grinding and polishing the wheels down, getting the weights right and painting it.

That turned out beautifully, but .... yeah .... CHEATER!!

Malenko:
reminds me of both my childhood and that commercial.......

I did most of the work on mine, but my dad did help me. other kids you can tell the parent did all/most of the work. then the kid who barely did anything to his car won by a landslide.

I think in this particular instance, it will be a glaring example of father interference.  His kid could care less, but for me, I thought it was sweet to use the 3d software for once.  Of particular notice is that I know I can download any 3d model on sketchup, scale it, and cut it.  i.e. guitars, props, statues, etc.....
