How do you post to rp-ml these days? I forgot. Also, scanning really complex parts still doesn't work well when there are occlusions (pretty common). The only way to accurately scan a 3D (non-living) part is by industrial CT scanner, or to destroy the part by sectioning it. Actually, if you only have to do it once or twice a year, might be a lot cheaper to contract it out (then deduct it from your taxes) - at least for now. Not sure how much a CT scan costs. Probably not much for small parts (since it doesn't take long).

Thanks! This confirms my feeling that there's nothing in production
that offers the resolution that I need. The specialization here --
where the high price is coming from -- seems to be scan speed, which
wouldn't matter to me since I just want to scan rocks etc.

I appreciate the vote of confidence...but dang it, talking won't make
their scanner more precise.
