There is software which will take two pictures (one from the front, one from
the side, at equal distances) of an object and create a "semi-3d" object
from it.  Not very accurate for a 3D model though, you really need something
like the Microscribe from Immersion.  It isn't really a "scanner" it's a 3D
tracing arm, it's useful for all kinds of work, but does cost a fair bit :-(

Hope this helps anyway.
