Thank you 'awerby' again. I will need to get the engineer, Rajasekar, to review this thread. I'm not sure what you mean by "interior volume". I thought all that was just part of the shape? I'm not sure if this is something they need, but since I don't yet know what "this" is, it may well be something they do need, which I don't yet understand.
Thanks for the info about using white paint. I didn't realize that the color would make a difference. If I understand you correctly, it would be best to color our parts white before scanning?
Would a scanner cover a range such as 1" to 6" in measurements, or would a smaller scanner be better for small parts?

[It really depends on the particular scanner. There's no absolute relationship between the size of a random scanner and the size of the objects it will scan. There are relatively small scanners that can capture a whole room, and some large ones that are intended for small objects.]
