This is actually some pretty exciting news. Researchers in Mexico have published a report outlining a method of 3D modeling that doesn't require a 3D scaner. Instead it uses a camera and 2 light projectors to beam light at the object from two separate angles. A computer is then able to comprehend the way in which the light if reflected/bent in order to construct a 3D model of it.
