I'm giving up on scanning after reading the revelation in an article about the launch of Makerbot's new desktop scanner on the BBC's website this morning ...
"However, Makerbot has made it clear that the scanner is not suitable for intricate designs and that users should not expect "too much" from the machine.
"Expectations should be realistic," the machine's FAQ page reads. "You will not be able to, for example, scan a hamburger and then eat the digital design.""
My dreams of creating my own edible hamburgers are now in tatters.

Re: Makerbot Desktop Scanner
A nice little business for a couple of thousand pounds
Maybe it's time to convert my man cave to better use

If you don't see that there is nothing, then you are kidding yourself.
