Z Corporation, maker of 3D printers, recently unveiled (during Siggraph 2006) the first handheld, self-positioning 3D scanner on the market that can digitize 3D surfaces in real time.
Full details which describe the complete specification for this new device are available at

Accuracy is rated at up to 0.05 mm (0.002 in) and output is in STL or a RAW format.
I found that the system was easy to use, but at a retail price of almost $40,000 this may be a bit too rich, but you do get a specially configured Laptop included in that price
