Although the mission statement for this forum includes tools for 3d printing, this question appears to be quite some distance outside that scope, as it appears to be fully directed toward a scanning application and related problems.

@fred_dot_u - While I would agree, as there isn't currently a specific SE site for scanning, what other option does the OP have for posting their question, except here? Also, I guess, the scanning process does form part of the *overall* 3D printing process, even though it is more to do with *preparation* rather than *printing* per se. :-)

I agree that 3D scanning questions should be allowed.  Scanning is often associated with 3D printing and making this site narrower will make it even more difficult to exit Beta.
