3D Scanning at Home! (cheap)

Yrkidding · 2009-03-01, 23:12

So, I was watching a tech show called The Lab With Leo Laporte today and one the show there was a guy that was doing a segment on 3D scanning, It's called David 3D Scanner and all you need is a Webcam, laser line thingy, and white boards in the background and you scan the laser over the object and it comes up in the software that is free from the site.

P.S. i might not have explained very well so just check the site.
