I've been doing research for awhile into the possibility of buying a 3D scanner of some sort. But with so many on the market, and typically a limited number of highly bipolar reviews online, it's been a little hard to get a good sense of different scanners capabilities.

What I'm wondering is if there's such a thing at this point in time as an affordable (let's say a few thousand dollars or less) 3D scanner that can produce print ready models without the operator having to go in and clean up the mesh by hand.
Makerbot seems to be promoting it's digitizer as capable of that, promising print ready models in 2 clicks. But I'm a little skeptical, and I've read some mixed reviews.

Please assume I have good lighting and don't try anything with transparent or reflective surfaces. Is it possible?

Thanks for any advice!
