The "printing" of solid objects has been around for a while. This seems to
be many levels above though. While it seems impossible to do, so was the
box that sits in your living room with the guy inside entertaining you.

As said they have been around for a while, however remember these are
not working units. While the wrench looked like the real thing, it was
only a non working model.

Did you not see him adjust the wrench and tighten a nut with it???

No common scanner will show the axle on which the adjuster turns.
Industrial x-ray will.
Maybe they touched up the scan to show the hidden parts before feeding
it to the printer.
If so they glossed over this.

Leon, did you notice the differences in the wrench scanned and the one

In the general vicinity of where you'd be biting ... just follow your

For the printer, export as .stl, and then the printer s/w converts to
gcode for output. I'm not about other formats at this point, as I'm
still acquiring the pieces I need and haven't looked at the software
(Meshlab).

According to the documentation "Meshlab is capable of exporting the
watertight mesh into a variety of file formats such as .STL, .OBJ,
..PLY, .3DS and .U3D among others. This makes it a great tool for
converting your mesh into a format that can be imported into a 3D
modeling program such as 3D Studio Max, Silo 3D, Blender or to
integrate your file into .PDF file using Adobe Acrobat 9."

As for size I think "that depends". I've seen sample scans of people's
heads, and from the waist up.

The kit I'm playing with is "experimental".

You can follow the links from here
http://store.makerbot.com/makerbot-3d-scanner.html if you weant to
poke around and see what other folks have been doing with it.
