UPDATE:
As previously mentioned, I did add a request for a 3D Scanner on this month’s Board Meeting agenda. It was tabled for now. Below is my response on a thread regarding the board meeting.
Prior to the board meeting, Robert, one of the board members, had expressed his concern that the Next Engine may not be as high quality as he would like to see for Dallas Makerspace. After the board meeting, at least one member suggested we consider asking for an industrial quality scanner - basically thinking forward to get the best Dallas Makerspace can afford! 
With that feedback, I have added acquiring an High Quality, High Definition 3D Scanner to next month’s board meeting: (Board of Directors Meeting 20150517 - Dallas Makerspace). As the first solution to consider, I suggested an industrial quality scanner (at a cost of $20,000 or more) for the board to consider; and, also added the top of the line “Under 10,000 range scanner” (that I had suggested during this month’s meeting) as the second solution to consider. 
Over the next couple weeks, I will be doing some research into the industrial quality scanners ($10,000 - $50,000 range). I will start with the information found at this review site: 2015 Best 3D Scanners Under $50000 | iReviews.
Please feel free to add suggestions. It would be most awesome if we could acquire a super high quality scanner that could be used to scan vehicles as well as small objects!!! (and, we will have the top of the line “mid-to-pretty-darn-great” range 3D Scanner that I had on the agenda for this month ~ which I would still be more than excited to have at the 'Space!!!)
