I was talking about the Makerbot Replicator and 3D printing when someone asked me if I knew of companies that produce similarly affordable 3D scanners. I couldn't think of any, but does anyone have suggestions?
Autodesk's 123D Catch does an acceptable job for a lot of applications.
It's a free program. Brian Harper has been doing some really good work

Thanks Brad. I've been using 123D Catch with some pretty good results and I'm getting close with figuring out how to run Reconstructme on the computers I have - 3D scanning with an Xbox Kinect - although the quality of the scans doesn't seem to be there yet with Reconstructme.
Anyway, earlier this year, I experimented a little bit with Makerscanner - http://www.makerscanner.com/ I never had great results with it, but I also didn't spend too much time experimenting with it, so it might be worth looking into. Basically its a system that allows you to laser scan with a line laser and a webcam.
