CowTech’s $99 3D scanner captures detail from small objects

This 3D scanner kit may be under $100, but you'll have to 3D print some of the parts.

In today's maker-friendly workshop a 3D scanner is just as useful as a 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.
