We have phase modulation technique and digitizer arm for 3D scanning,
Stratasys and
Zcorp machines for 3D printing.
Phase modulation is done with
Minolta Vivid 910 3d scanner. It looks like very old cameras that people used to use in photo studios. There is

The Geomagic Studio software handles high resolution (nanosecond/inch) scanned images. There are
some tutorials for Geomagic Studio.
Zcorp for color.
