Re: [rp-ml] low-res 3D scanning

For the past three years I have been using the NextEngine 3D Laser
Scanner HD with quite a lot of success -

    http://www.nextengine.com/

and it interfaces with Rapidforms XOR quite well (they even bundle
RapidWorks which is XOR)

Contact me and I'll help you out with the process.
