Cool. I didn't get to listen to any of the paper presentations, unfortunately. There were tons of 3D printers in the studio, though, and a fair number of scanners, which I recall you were interested in. I had my face scanned, and I should receive the data in a couple of days. It was a white light two-camera scanner that took about 20 seconds to get about 120 degrees of scan. The same company also makes software that permits you to use a Kinect for 3D scanning. Costs about $500. www.kscan3d.com

My head is stuffed full of all kinds of really cool stuff. I just hope I get a chance to use some of it before it all trickles away!
