3D scan any physical object and then send it to a 3D printer. So many possibilities!

- Cosplayer? 3D scan yourself, you now have a model you can make minis out of.

- Need to replace a simple valve to help treat covid19? This does most of the work for you.

- Game dev? You can scan a real world item, either importing it directly or using it as an outline for an in-game object.

For most high detail or functional things you probably will need to make some adjustments to the scanned model, but it could make the whole process waaay easier.
