Sampling and remixing objects

Makerbot have kindly published my views on object sampling here. In summary I see a future in popularising a design approach of making variations, iterations and mash-ups of existing objects by combining 3D scanning, computational ‘remixing’ and 3D printing.

hey, what are you using for your 3d scans and is it available for download? I have tried spinscan with some quicktime issues.

Im using hyper3d, which is a free online service that uses the photo reconstruction method. www.hypr3d.com
