3D scanning for free
3D scanning does not have to require expensive equipment and software.
Using photogrammetry techniques you can do quite a bit of scanning for
free with just a camera and some free, and (partly) open-source
software. For lighting, a cloudy day is good or for small objects
fluorescent lighting also casts very little shadow. You can also try
doing it inside a shadow.
--Note: No need to install Visual SFM or CMVS, just extract Visual SFM, then extract CMVS into the same folder.
--The download link for CMVS is on this page, lower right called "Download Zip". https://github.com/pmoulon/CMVS-PMVS In the zip file open "BinariesWIn-Linux / Win64-VS2010" Then copy all the files in there and paste them in the same folder as Visual SFM Of course if you're using WIn32 you'll do that one instead.
--If you press tab and nothing happens all I can say is make sure CMVS is installed as described and check the log window for errors. I don't know any more than that.

iscover a free photo scanning workflow for VisualSFM, Meshlab and
Blender. After watching this tutorial you'll be ready to generate the
jaw-dropping 3D models from photos, for $0.
Download the Project Files: http://goo.gl/b7kAup
That said, you still need a camera. We have Canon 600D, but you can get away with even cheaper cam. Even a smartphone cam will do the trick (sort of).
VisualSFM
http://ccwu.me/vsfm/
VisualSFM is a free GUI application for photo scanning.
CMVS-PMVS
https://github.com/pmoulon/CMVS-PMVS
“This software (CMVS) takes the output of a structure-from-motion (SfM) software as input, then decomposes the input images into a set of image clusters of manageable size.” I couldn’t describe it better than that. Image clusters. Decompose. That’s so nerdy. It turns me on.
MeshLab
http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/
MeshLab is the open source software for editing of unstructured 3D meshes.
Blender
https://www.blender.org/
Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite. Great for visualizing the 3D scans, you bet!
