There are many 3D laser scanners out there, and they vary quite a bit in price and resolution. Given the size of the objects you're looking at, you would likely have to go for a more expensive model (eg laserdesign, polhemus). Portability, if required, also limits your choices. You might want to check http://www.3dlinks.com/hardware_scanners.cfm for a list of manufacturers.
