thanks dklassen, I am willing to learn. I am used to the rigorous learning curve of 3D printing and firmware enhancements and hardware tuning. I am ok with that. I just want to be able to perform reverse engineering, via CAD after I acquire a point cloud or STL. I really want to be able to speed up the parametric modeling process of a solid once the STL is acquired. I know this requires some experience with using the software, which I am willing to learn. I just need to know which platform is best for me. Nextengine or David. And honestly, I am still 50/50 at this point.

What are the drawbacks of structured light vs nextengine I think, laser.
