problem is that file output STL from that scanner.

objects.

Bring the STL into the CAD program, and convert it.
I have been bringing STL files into the Repetier program that communicates with 
a Solidoodle 3D printer.
- There are two STL to GCODE converter programs in the Windows side of things:
   -  -  Skeinforge
   -  -  Slic3r
- There is a program on the LINUX side of things, under Fedora version 19,  
called "cura".  
   Current version of cura, listed in "Apper", (for getting removing and 
updating programs), is 13.04-2.fc19.
   How is cura?     It does communicate with the Solidoodle.
   (sigh).  Due to my system wants to update 1013 programs, and bumping itself 
off updating, by interrupting itself,
   I am currently using the Windows side of things.
   Maybe next version.

> does MasterCam able to use STL model to generate g code?
Sorry.  Maybe someone else knows.

> important part is that this 3D scanner cost only $ 400.00 and this is
---hand held -- type scanner.
Sounds good.

>  my cad/cam is weber sys.

Good.  You have one.
My student/evaluation Solid Edge and s/e Gibbscam have gone past their 
marketing dates.
Blender is taking all the STL versions of the files I saved.  Am not proficient 
at it like the CAD programs.

>  thanks
Thank you for the news.  I will look for that scanner.
