3D - 2

Basically I want to design a 3D model that can be printed either using a 3D printer or foam router.?

Basically would like to design a lanscape using images or photos, eg house ruins. then convert that image into a 3D model that can be used in a fish tank or just as a prop. I would like to know what tools/software i need to buy eg 3d printer, camera, software, 3d scanner etc

1. Sounds like you're referring to 3d scanners and 3d Selective laser sintering tools and Fused Deposition Modeling Yo design a model, you would use something like AutoCad, or Maya Autodesk Maya http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=7635018 Strata - The Power of 3D http://www.strata.com/ and/ or use scanner tools to scan a3d model for replicating, Handyscan Handheld 3D Scanners http://www.creaform3d.com/en/handyscan3d/default.aspx Zcorp 3D Scanners and Printers, http://sldtech.com/?page_id=282 and tools to convert to 3d print models, NextEngine 3D Scanner HD https://www.nextengine.com/indexSecure.htm?section=company&identifier=leno Selective laser sintering machine http://www.directindustry.com/prod/eos/selective-laser-sintering-machine-for-rapid-tooling-5078-12941.html FROGMill™ CNC Foam Router http://www.3dcutting.com/products-frogmill.php http://people.moreheadstate.edu/students/argrac01/files/researchdocument.html#Impacts 3d connexion Pilot ~Mouse http://www.3dconnexion.com/spp/index.php SensAble http://www.sensable.com/ ..
