1. A scanner system for capturing a 3D model of an object, the scanner system comprising:
a laser providing a stripe of light to illuminate the object;
a camera to capture two-dimensional images of the object;
a tube mounted to a rail, the tube configured to move generally along a travel axis of the rail, the tube including a first tube end and a second tube end, the first and second tube ends being open, the laser and the camera mounted inside the tube between the first tube end and the second tube end, the first tube end including a first continuous ring and the second tube end including a second continuous ring, a channel extending through the tube between the first ring and the second ring positioned adjacent the rail in an assembled configuration;
a central processor configured to receive data collected from the laser and the camera; and
an actuation mechanism configured to move the tube along the rail generally along the travel axis.
