This is a generic Widgit Banger! I (Mr. Bunny) made it because it's cool but I use it to make Widgits. Share and Enjoy!

Description
A 'Splinescanner' is a machine that 'Splinescans', that is, makes a laser-scan and 3D model of a real object, like a baby's shoe or a six-foot tall sculpture at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
'Splinescanning' is the RepRap generic term for laser-scanning.
Note: nomenclature is a little non-obvious. A RepRap with a scanning head is a 'Splinescanner'.
Photogrammetry is not Splinescanning, but is functionally equivalent inasmuch as at the end of the day, you have a nice working scanned mesh.
Background
Functionality
Sub-millimeter scans of objects 2m tall.
Instructions on how to make one
Ideally, the Object Library hosts this information.
Ideally, it is easy to build using the RBS.
Splinescan is GPL so it works well with RBS and RepRap.
Entrepreneurship
Andrew Lewis may have a cottage industry making and selling kits. He's also the developer. If you want to buy a kit, he's the best person to buy one from.
