What are you actually looking to do with your body part scans?

You won't be doing any detailed work with a sense scanner. It's good for demonstrations/classrooms/wedding cake figurines? and that's about it. You can't trust it's accuracy.

The only thing that I would recommended within your budget is a David SLS-2 but it's the rep-rap of the 3d scanning world and will take a lot of tinkering to get your ideal results.

Your main problem you'll find with whichever system you use is the software. Geomagic/Rapidform/Polyworks are £10k's but they are so far ahead of the included/free/cheaper software in the usability and what results you are able to achieve with them.

I'd strongly recommend you take some data (I can probably provide if there's something specific you need,) download the software you're hoping to use and see if you can actually get out the results you require.


If the David doesn't work for you then I would probably be looking at Photogrammetry. There aren't too many scanning options available in your price range currently.
