FabScan laser scanner build

Overview

A page for notes on building a copy of the FabScan Laser Scanner detailed here: http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Arduino-3D-Laser-Scanner, and originally from our friends at RWTH Aachen, http://hci.rwth-aachen.de/fabscan.

Nov 29th thoughts (from Slack) Doug L and Jim L are hoping to build it with an rPi2.

Which model is which?

There's apparently at least three different models:

• FabScan original http://hci.rwth-aachen.de/fabscan
• Has laser cut files in CDR format (CorelDraw)
  
• FabScan Pi: http://hci.rwth-aachen.de/fabscanpi
• http://hci.rwth-aachen.de/fabscanpi_hardware  says that it uses the FabScan CUBE case
• FabScan CUBE. http://hci.rwth-aachen.de/fabscancube
  
• Case files are in visicut format.  Graham will contact Rene Bohne and try to get them in some other format
