CowTech's $99 3D scanner captures detail from small objects
In today's maker-friendly workshop a 3D scanner is just as useful as 3D printing for replicating small objects. And now there's an option to adding the former gadget to your setup for under $100. The CowTech Ciclop is an open-source 3D scanner with two lasers and a 720p camera (a Logitech webcam, actually) to capture object. It touts the same resolution (0.5mm) as MakerBot's much pricier Digitizer. CowTech's version is based on another open-source 3D scanner, the $400 BQ Ciclop, but a few tweaks dropped the price to a mere $99.
