Not trying to be argumentative, but I can think of quite a few automotive situations where it would be useful. Not for precision parts, like engine, or crash parts. Rather, when you’re modifying an old car, and need a complex spacer, or bracket, that will take forever to hand make, or would be very complicated to weld/fab due to shape constraints.
