I might have a bash at making a rotating bed and up and down scanner, could be great for making 3d object code.

As soon as I seen the title, I figured what this would be about!
It certainly looks like you can achieve good results with it.

I've got a couple things I'd like to model, but they're firmly on the roundtuit list.

Laser scanning isn`t quite as simple as aome of the demos might suggest.

Kinect scanning looks like it might have some mileage, free for non commercial use
