Here’s a video of a DIY 3D scanner made from regular flatbed scanner. It can only scan cylindrical objects but sure hell beats any over-priced 3D scanners.
“I modified a Dell scanner in such a way that it can used to scan cylindrical objects such as a soda can or, in this case, an energy drink can.”

Lizard made from Soda and Bottle Caps!
Check out this cool lizard, all made from soda and bottle caps.
What’s interesting is the artist behind this Lizard, Val Hunt makes all kinds of neat things with recycled material (crap). We need more artists like this who can turn something trash into work of art.
Great stuff Val, keep ’em coming.
Reincarnated Rubbish is Val Hunt’s touring solo exhibition. Despite her use of manufactured materials from foil, take-away
If this is true and anything like I bought from IKEA, you better watch out as the apartment WILL fall apart after 6 months of use. (Exceptions: If it’s overpriced, it’s not gonna break.)
