I have wanted to make oone of these for a long time. I have always thought it would be better to rotate the object to get a full 360 degree scan, but with this method you could scan a very large or heavy object (a person?). There is no indication as to how long a scan takes.
homemade 3d scanner – the tutorial
can u send me a diagram of your 3d scanner? i wanna make one:)
[I didn’t actually come up with this idea, you will have to try and contact the guy that wrote the page that I linked too, sorry about that. Best of luck in building one, it looks pretty cool.

sir, building a 3dscanner with a laser is a good idea, but i want to build it without the help of laser as it can damage your skin. thank you.
[Obaid,
The laser used in this scanner is very low powered, the kind you can gey for your key ring. You could shine it on your arm all day it it would not injure you. Don’t look into the beam, it can do eye damage but your skin is safe.
If you did want to use a different light source you could use a very strong lamp, like the kind in a slide projector. However, it is going to get VERY hot and be quite large.
Best of luck on your project.

Just to give you another very interesting solution ( the benefit is you can move the laser with your hand instead of using stepper motor ) http://www.david-laserscanner.com/ .
