The new MakerBot Digitizer Desktop 3D Scanner is still just a prototype at the moment and uses lasers and cameras to replicate physical objects into a digital form and file,  Bre Pettis, CEO of MakerBot explained at SXSW:

“We are super excited to be able to announce at SXSW Interactive that we are developing the MakerBot Digitizer Desktop 3D Scanner,”-“It’s a natural progression for us to create a product that makes 3D printing even easier. With the MakerBot Digitizer, now everyone will be able to scan a physical item, digitize it, and print it in 3D – with little or no design experience.”

“This is something you would envision being a piece of fiction, but in fact, it is real – and it is so cool,” -“The MakerBot Digitizer is a great tool for archiving, prototyping, replicating, and digitizing prototypes, models, parts, artifacts, artwork, sculptures, clay figures, jewelry, etc. If something gets broken, you can print it again.”
