HI, My 2ct, when I tried 2 years ago to have a reliable 3d scanner for cheap, I tried the line laser option, cost nothing (a laser line is 5$ on ebay, and I recycle a good webcam). My conclusion were that the raw scan need a lot of cleaning before having anything useful for milling. Maybe it improved in the meantime, but it seems to be challenging to have something useful with this technology.
Also, the laser will hate having dust in the air ... so for on the fly correction of the tool path ...
