With two students in the group, we had a combined budget of ($250 * 2) = $500 from the School. 
At the outset of the project, we looked into several different options for making 3-D models of real world objects. We discovered a program called DAVID LaserScanner which appeared to give a good recreation, but cost €449.00 (approximately $570 at current market rates) plus shipping from Europe. The extra cost of the LaserScanner was borne by Prof. Derek Abbott, who saw its usefulness outside the scope of this project and agreed that the higher quality output was necessary for successfully achieving our objectives. 

After performing test scans on a similar-sized object to the bust, we discovered that it would be necessary to generate larger calibration panels, and these were printed at a cost of approximately $50 at OfficeWorks.
