Sounds really interesting. I wonder how difficult would it be to write a program that would do the stiching itself, it could save €50. Perhaps there even already exist other programs that can do it. If anyone knows feel free to report about them.


If I can find good enough laser and webcam cheap enough I might actually build the system. It would be fun to render some random objects instead of the stock ones [SMILEY Smile]

I think that the [LINK http://www.instructables.com/id/E16Y5T8F22U9YWA/ milk scanner] is still the cheapest scanner available on the market [SMILEY Smile]

That's really cool. I've been meaning to build my own scanner for a while. They just saved me the trouble !!  [SMILEY Very Happy]


I'm in the middle of a house move, so it's going to be a while before I can try it out - but I've just downloaded all the SW and I already have a camera and laser, so watch this space ...  [SMILEY Wink]
