The DAVID 3D Scanner Wiki

This Wiki is written collaboratively by volunteers from all around the world who are engaged in building 3d laser scanners.
It mainly (but not solely) focuses on creating documentation for the free software DAVID-Laserscanner, which allows everyone to build their own laser scanner using a simple web-cam, a line laser, and two panels.
