Hey guys,

I've been browsing the web looking for a 3d scanner. I'm a beginner and find 3d modeling a bit time consuming. Especially when it comes to intricate shapes. I am printing on my Ultimaker (and Shapeways occasionally)
However, when I look at the 3d scanners <$1000 they seem to produce quite nasty/low res results.
Is that just where the tech is at the moment? Or does anyone have (or have used) a scanner that they are really happy with?
Any recommendations? I've looked at MatterAndForm, Rubicon, Fuel3d (available yet?), Einscan (expensive, not sure about the quality), David Scan (really expensive, nice quality).

any help appreciated.
