The following set of images compare a mesh object scanned with the David SLS Scanner, and the same object captured using Autodesk Recap 360.  

This tutorial focuses on the David Scanner, but the Autodesk Recap application may be better suited for your circumstances depending on the desired outcome.  

The benefits of the David Scanner are a higher resolution and accurate scale, however there is significant setup, scanning, and alignment time. These scans will generally also need to be cleaned up in a another software such as Geomagic Studio.  Autodesk Recap offers a simpler solution that involves taking a series of photographs around a fixed object and then uploading them to the online system.  The downsides are a lower quality and a scaleless result.  You are also required to wait for the Recap system to generate your mesh, which is an undetermined amount of time.  Both options allow you to capture the color/texture map of the objects and it seems as though the Recap method is more successful in this regard.  

Both of these mesh objects are coming straight from their respective 3D capture programs prior to clean-up.
