Heres a list of free (as in free beer) or DIY 3d scanners:
[
blog.makezine.com]
I tried DAVID 3d and it works if you have a good setup (good cam, narrow laser) It can also stitch multiple scans
The open source tool [
meshlab.sourceforge.net] works very well for optimizing 3d scan data. I use it to stitch mutiple scans into one model, close holes, smooth and simplify the mesh. Available for OSX, Win, Linux.
