This is pretty sweet! Kid has some serious skills - Russell, do you
wanna email him and invite him to the list maybe? I'd love to hear
what he has to say about the MakerScan idea..

Hi all,

We've been making great progress with our laser-line scanning (on the
Makerbot-printed parts posted earlier) and have just uploaded some new
pictures including .ply pointclouds!

We've been able to significantly reduce our laser-line detection noise
and have seriously increased our depth resolution. Take a look:

Feel free to grab the point cloud files and open them up in Meshlab!

Good stuff, AndyDan!

What's the procedure for making 3D models from the pointclouds? Can
meshlab do it?
