You might try the Computer Science department at the University. Someone there may have a 3D scanner or can point you in the right direction.
Are you looking at scanning a 1:1 object and rescaling it to model part use? How versed are you in 3D graphics editing? A CS grad student may need beer money!
Shapeways is good, but you really need to be able to upload the data in a 3D graphics file format. The iterative process of rescaling and refining your single part by Shapeways may lead to big $$.
Hello!
3D printing is getting less and less of a problem nowadays, but I'm not so sure about the scanning.
Like Stik has already said Shapeways is a tried way to get your prints, for small and medium sized parts in a quality that doesn't require you to fill and sand the parts before you use them.
The main question is: What part are we talking about here? Most of the model parts would be better off re-drawn in 3D rather than scanned, because then you can draw the part without limitations imposed on it by the injection-moulding process.
Also, if you want to duplicate a part that you already have, you could consider making a resin copy of the part - it's much cheaper that way.
Good luck with your projects and have a nice day

check out shapeways website. They both sell, and print up stuff that folks design.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

Or if you have one yourself we could make some arrangement to have my part scanned and printed.
Thanks, John
