3D printers are now being used everywhere from simple prototyping to complex product creation. However, there still are a lot of hurdles to overcome for a much wider adaptation of such printers. One of the biggest problems is the difficulty in 3D model creation. It takes a lot of experience to create such models also, most of the 3D model creating software available today comes at a high price tag. To help with this, 3D scanners are available, but these scanners are sold separately and come at a high price. To solve these problems, a 3D printer with an integrated 3D scanning is proposed here.
