"In short, it's a complex scanning project that is requiring a whole arsenal of cameras, as well as a $200,000 laser scanner. Scanning will continue all week, while the images will be stitched together over the coming months. More scanning, to capture anything they've missed, is scheduled for February 2016."

I'm just waiting for a decent (.5mm resolution) DIY scanner at $500. At the current rate of development, it could happen any time now.

We could already be scanning and 3d printing many of niggling items like window trim.
