Would it? Wouldn't the catalog be enormous, and the model could be from almost any angle? Not trying to call BS, I am not a computer vision expert, its just whenever someone says something like this I always wonder the actual feasibility.

I think it was in the 90s when I read about neural nets being used to correlate air plane type to a static silhouette (might have been radar) from any angle. Of course, airplanes can't be slightly modified and printed out in minutes, so I'm not sure this would work here, or how much of a PITA constantly retraining the neural net when new schematics are made would be.
That's pretty cool yo, thanks for illuminating!
