Don't feel like dropping $25,000 on a CreaForm 3D Scanner? MakerScanner has your back with a DIY project that is totally open source, and can be made with some common consumer electronics. Best of all, it works pretty well!
In a stroke of genius, MakerScanner's creators made it so all of the parts of the 3D Scanner can be made with a 3D printer like the MakerBot or similar. The main parts are a PS3 Eye USB Camera and a laser line pointer, which are all held together with the 3D printed mount.
