The MakerBot Digitizer Desktop 3D Scanner ($1,550) scans everyday objects and easily creates digital models for 3-D printing. Just place an object on the turntable, and with a couple of button presses the laser will scan the object, saving it for easy use on a Makerbot or most other 3-D printers.
This tool is so simple to use it doesn’t even require any knowledge of 3-D modeling software or any patching, stitching, and repairing.
