I would like to be able to scan my robot work cell to easily create a model for offline simulation.

30K is just the S70 with Scene (software with doglekey), tripod and sphere set.
if i scan your robot cell using S70 my workflow is Scene, Recap, Autocad with As-Build plugin. 3D scanner isnt yet one click and make all...here i need the special tool; my eyes lol to distinguish between points in the cloud to take off noise better if we have eagle eyes lol
Using together the ScanArm;
Design X, NX and maybe Cloud Compare (Open Source)
and both at the end maybe Keyshot to make apresentation.
When i brought the scanner all the software and high end computer was include in the subsidy all the software plus Design Control X (now i know Polyworks is beter lol).
So the price was more high but because i helped kids and the local government know it they helped me a lot at time, toke 1 moth to get approved after i wrote a letter requesting and the reason i want the stuff.

With regards teaching, it is possible to log positions using halstreamer but it needs some revisions I think to output in CSV format. I have used it to collect 16000 readings for statistical analysis from a 6" plasma cut. It took a bit to extract the data I wanted.

I'm not sure you you would convert the streamer coordinates back into motion commands.

Thank you Rodw, im checking now lets see if i can handle this in the future, something using OpenCV...but my coding skill is low compared with you guys.
