In this tutorial, industrial designer Eric Strebel shows you how to 3D scan an object, when you haven't got a 3D scanner. Using a camera and photogrammetry--in Strebel's case, Agisoft Metashape, as it runs on a Mac--you can get good results, provided you follow the preparation and photography tips shown here. From quickly salt-and-peppering the surface of the object to ensuring you're taking the right kinds of photographs, Strebel's tips should save you a load of time down the line.
1. Object set-up
2. Camera set-up
3. Lighting set-up
4. Run the software
5. Fix holes in the mesh
6. Export the data
7. Import into your CAD package

Thanks very much for sharing this. I've looked at 3D scanners but this might work for me better.
For Windows / Linux users, I can recommend Meshroom. Youtube has some good tutorials to get you started.
