SD Scanning vs Modeling

[Streetwise]

I have a client who sells various office seating, task chairs, etc. Most all of the chairs originate from China and in most all cases, no CAD files exist. I'm looking for a US-based source to either 3D scan or model chairs, based on a physical sample. Does anyone have any recommendations on which is a better approach in terms of quality and/or cost? I will probably post this in the jobs section once I can identify the better way to go. Most all chairs have fabrics involved. Thank You.

Lately I find myself using Photoscan to make sloppy high-poly models that I hand-build models around.

What scanner are you using with Photoscan? That's an interesting workflow!

No scanner, just lots of photos. Photoscan is a photomodelling program. www.agisoft.com
