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.
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 has a cottage industry making and selling kits, if you want to buy one from him.
