The Fuel3D scanner, originally developed at Oxford University, can capture everything from a flower’s petals to the contours of human skin. It is able to capture images in seconds, and they can then be sent to a computer for processing. When combined with a 3D printer, it could be used to create 3D copies of everything from broken parts to 3D portraits.”
