Bud,
        Someone told me that our local community college has a course in laser 
cutting.  After completion you can go back and use the laser for later 
projects.  Might be worth inquiring.  I saw a 3D scanner in action at Robert 
Morris University near Pittsburg.  I don't think their's was portable, but you 
could scan Rapido's HO FA4.
