Are there other people who have access to professional 3D scanning equipment
who would be willing to scan parts?

Hi all, I’m late to this party - I’m kind of languishing through another LEGO
Dark Age..
We recently got a new desktop 3D scanner at my work. I am trying to learn how to
use it, so I’d be up for doing some parts. The process of making the scans isn’t
exactly hard, but it is time-consuming and tedious, and I can’t really do it

What I do NOT have the patience for is the LDraw parts authoring process. So
while I can provide a file in a standard CAD file format, it will be up to
someone else to do the file cleanup and conversion to DAT (which is no small
task in itself).
What kinds of parts would people really like to be scanned?
