Gene Heskett asks about David Laserscanner:

They use a calibration chart with lots of dots. You set up a background 
with the two parts of the calibration charts in a 90 degree corner. Take 
an image with the camera and they calibrate the camera using this dotted 
pattern.
Now the scanner is calibrated to interpret this background as a square 
pattern in a 90 deg. angle.
Scanning is done with the object in front of this background and the V 
shaped lines on the background are used to calculate the laser's 
position and angle.

You can try it out and use it for free but in order to stitch up 
multiple scans into one object and create an STL file you need to buy a 
license.

I doubt the exact precision of this scanner, I am going for the 
NextEngine scanner with RapidWorks to convert scans into CAD models for 
SolidWorks.
I just sent them a few photo's of a product I need to scan to see if 
they think NextEngine can do this.
