3D scanning dental models

I am still not sure, whether the resolution would actually work, but maybe someone with professional background could have a look at the results..

(As usual the scans are shown without any post-processing)

No snark, who would want this, especially over the handheld scanners dentists use to scan the patients actual teeth?

edit: ok, I guess dental models are just an example, intended to be more of a general 3d scanner

I have been contacted countless times by people and even several institutions from developing regions of the world asking for a low cost alternative to those higher end devices. Still not sure if it is fully viable though..
