Low cost 3D Laser scanning

Here is my first attempt at 3D scanning with a low cost (350 Euros) David Laserscanner system I got today. It comes with a webcam, a laser, calibrated panels and the software. So if you are short on cash, you also can have it for less...

Since printable designs will be part of future, you'll have to learn how to cope with all the legacy stuff. Read more about desktop fabrication in the Fab lab article. Pictures below show a plush lion of the kind that you could sit on top of your computer screen (camera view and capture from front).

Here are the first pictures I made after taking the system out of the box:
