Parts replication with a 3d laser scanner

I used a Nextengine 3d laser scanner to create a model of the right hand hammer of a shotgun needing a left hand hammer. The model was then imported into Solidworks(cad program) and a mirror image was created and machined on my mill. I added flood coolant for this operation which greatly improved the machining but made a huge mess of my shop. I am considering upgrading to a enclosed mill in the future.
