I need to built a replacement component (button) that is made out of plastic that is broken. The part is small 5cm by 3cm. I have a intact sample but I need a scanner that can capture the contours correctly. Any thoughts.

You just have a 3D engineer measure it. I recommend Lions3.

I like to smack it on my belly for 3-5 minutes before scanning.
