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!

Entrepreneurship (Kits)
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.

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.
Functionality
Sub-millimeter scans of objects 2m tall.
Ideally, it is easy to build using the RBS.
Splinescan is GPL so it works well with RBS and RepRap.
