Have you seen this 3d scanner using a Kinect.  I think there might be a
Kinect at the space and it looks like the software is downloadable for
free. Check it out here  http://reconstructme.net/

&gt;&gt; Hi everyone -<br>

&gt;&gt; I&#39;m a newbie at the LVL1 space - I&#39;ve attended a few meeti=

&gt;&gt; it, etc.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; The idea, in a nutshell, is to use 3D scanning and printing techno=

&gt;&gt; create a =93crowd=94 of people printed with 3D printers. =A0The ai=
m of this<br>
&gt;&gt; project is to collaborate with people who may be in different geog=

&gt;&gt; areas, but are willing collaborate in an online space. =A0By shari=

&gt;&gt; of ourselves, we can work to pull together a crowd of people that =

&gt;&gt; I&#39;m also thinking the project would be open for others to add =

&gt;&gt; submitting their own scans and that they would also be able to pri=

&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Personally, I also think it would be really cool to see yourself s=

&gt;&gt; space.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Right now, I&#39;m working with software called 123D Catch to crea=
