The problem is getting from the scan to the model. I’ve made scans with an app called Heges which gives relatively good resolution models but the surfaces are never complete and often there are multiple surfaces which makes it a real pain to translate into something printable. The main thing I’ve used it successfully for is scanning difficult geometry I wanted to build something to interface to (e.g. the fiddly fins / ribs on a big peli case - none of the surfaces are parallel as it’s moulded so it was nice to be able to scan the relevant bit and import it into Fusion360 so I could measure everything and build some thing that would sit nicely on the features).
