Cheap 3D scanner on the way

Spiral Scratch, a British start-up, say they've created an inexpensive gadget for making 3D scans of any object. It's still a couple of years away from production, but they're claiming it'll cost just 100 pounds when it comes out. Combine one of these with a cheap 3D printer, and you can expect a boom in people swapping scans of all sorts of objects online.
