[quote=FWB;1034573]the scanner is the holy crap of the equation, there are as you mentioned the equipment out there since the 80's but the cost of that equipment is out of reach for a small business such as myself.[/QUOTE
I gotta agree the scanner is a key ingredient. Not that long ago I was looking at a hand held unit that allowed you to scan without a stand allowing anything from a washer to a jet engine intake to be scanned. We did a mini Cooper dash. Problem is the additional software that was required to convert the point cloud to usable surfaces. That 3k scanner was a deal but the "other" software required was another 15k!
If the scanner shown in the video is turnkey at 3k it's like you said it would pay for itself fast! Definatly worth a bit more investigation.
