Is there a scanner that can work out cubic centimetres?

Oddjob:
I'm going to start zinc/nickel plating shortly and one of the things I'd like some help with is working out the area of where I'll be plating. Ideally I'd like a sort of gun which lasers the bolt etc and just gives a figure so I could add up all the parts I'd be plating in one go and then I can work out the ampage. Anyone know of anything that might be suitable or am I asking for the moon here. Can't be too expensive of course.

If it was you could creat  a excel formula that works out the shank surface area and one for the head and the the two formulas then add together?

All you then need is a vernier abs a pc or caculatot

No it's all sorts of part mate, some linkage parts off the carbs etc might do the main stand etc.

Trying to think that one through.

If you put (these are just examples I can immediately think of in convenient containers) a washing up bowl onto a large tray, fill the bowl right to the brim level with water, then put the items into the water together. The water now in the tray is that displacement of cubic centimetres of your items, measuring the tray contents with depth, length, width should give you surface area. At least I think that's right.

For tray, I'm thinking more along the lines of some 800mm x 600mm commercial baking trays I bought to work on things while containing all the parts and leakage while dismantling etc, not just a household tray.
