Need suggestions for affordable 3D scanner

If you want one of the most accurate scanner look into NextEngine Scan studio.
I use to have one of these babies at my previous job and it works great.
The scanner is $3000 though and it's a bit steep but the results are well worth it.
I have not come to anything close at that budget.

Very interesting, looks very precise.
The only drawback is that you need to be able to place your object on a turntable
I wish for the same price we could get a hand-held scanner.
I just can't put my motorbike on a turntable.

No, No! don't be fooled, you do not have to place the object anywhere specific.
The scanner has a threaded mount underneath which can be mounted onto a tripod.
We used the scanner to scan body panels back into solidworks for the motorcycle we were building.
