your budget is not enough - end of discussion.
You can get adecent 3d printer for $1000, but not a decent scanner.
The only aio - all-in-one scanner and printer for silly money is the xyz aio.

By all accounts it isn't very good, but at that price - what do you expect :-)
The zeus is the only other player in the market and it does get good reviews and for the money is extremely good value.
Come back to us in 5 years time and you will undoubtably get a a good all in one for around $1000.
But here and now - not a snowballs chance in hell.
You're best bet is to get something like the wanhao duplicator i3 and learn to use a decent cad program. I recommend openscad. It's free, everything you model will always be printable, it's easy to learn and you don't need to be able to draw stuff.
It's only downside is that it's not great on curves, but you can work round that.

Maybe I should have put it in the original post, but after some research I have upped my budget to a little over 1k for the printer and to unsure for the scanner.
Right now I am looking for scanner options and what would work well as a scanner for 14" and less items?

I found a great deal on an open box AirWolf 3d Hx printer, which has a build size of 12″X 8″X 12″ so I bought that last night.
Here is the information and specifications on that printer: http://www.3ders.org/articles/201405...-printing.html
I will download the 123D Catch software to use with it and become familiar with it.
I still need a scanner as a starting point, but would be happy to modify the scan after that. Thank you all for help learning, can anyone recommend a reasonably priced scanner that can scan to those dimensions? My objects are not incredibly detailed as they are car parts, but I would like to get a scanner that was a slight overkill for car parts.Last edited by gte; 04-28-2016 at 08:37 AM.

Define 'reasonably priced'.
There are no scanners worth having for under $1000 - which has already been mentioned :-)
The einscan-s is probably the best 'budget' scanner around at the moment. Starting at $1199

Not within my budget - but anything cheaper just plain won't do the job.

It is possible to build your own desktop 3d scanner. Plenty of instructables around for those.
Some are supposed to work.
But the results the guys are getting from the einscan look pretty impressive to me, and anything that already has a somewhere you can get help is always better than something cheap from china that nobody's ever heard of.
Do bed magnets deteriorate.
