    1. DAVID is indeed a nice software, even if a lot of tweaking is involved : finding the right webcam-objet-laser angle, build a good calibration corner, and so on.
      You have to be patient, but it’s worth it !

      The official forum ( http://www.david-laserscanner.com/forum/ ) is amazing, some users get some astonishing results. (take a look at “Hal”’s work ! ).

      By the way, I wrote a review of DAVID on tdt3d.com (in French only ) :

      There are several pictures of models I scanned using a cheap 20€ webcam.
