RE: How to model a scroll (from a 3 jaw lathe chuck)
Model a helix to the dimension that you want.
Model the chuck jaw.
Put them both into an assembly and cut the helix from.
This would be done by copying the helix surfaces and then solidifying them as a cut.
There a few ways to do it and it is quite straight forward.
