I have constructed a DIY structured light scanner with the same off the shelf components as the HDI R3x.

Scans Items, from a Tangerine to a Full Size Car

2 x 2.8 megapixel color cameras with 3 SETS of lenses for various sized objects

2.6 Million AVERAGE POINTS per 1 Second Scan
5.2 Million AVERAGE POLYGONS per 1 Second Scan
ACCURACY UP TO .0018" (accuracy is affected by the size)

This thing is pretty good for the $5k-$6k that I have invested to it. Off the shelf complete (with the same components) from LMI is around $23k, if I'm not mistaken. The company used to sell the software separately and encouraged DIYers, but they cornered the market and only sell their software with the hardware. I was lucky enough to get in early.

I offer the service to produce cloud generation if anyone needs it.

The 3D scanner is also for sale if anyone is interested as I need to fund my new CNC build.
