Scanning Service?

I am looking to have a helmet scanned.

We have tried various 'low end' solutions here in the office (photogrammetry, iSense etc, MakerbotScanner) and been thoroughly unimpressed.
We have the ability to clean up the mesh so just the raw data is fine.
I am pretty much asking for a freebie or 'low cost' (happy to negotiate :))
I would mail the helmet to you or drive if you are in the Boston area. 

Thoughts? Offers?





Many thanks - Philip

    @henry_feldman is in the Boston area and has access to all manner of cool toys so he might be one local source.

    @tyler_pope - thank you. 
    I ended up borrowing a commercial scanner and a colleague with experience in 3D scanning did the work.

    blue light / white light are suppose to be the next thing. Not sure where they can be found but there's some guy that has affordable protos. I'll see if I can get a name. I need one also.
