Affordable Arduino-Based 3D Laser Scanner

I'm seeking a skilled developer to create a low-cost, Arduino-based 3D laser scanning system designed for small to medium objects. The goal is to deliver an affordable, accessible alternative to high-end 3D scanners for students, hobbyists, and small businesses.

Key Requirements:
- Integrate laser triangulation method with stepper motors, laser modules, and optical sensors.
- Implement multi-sensor calibration techniques to enhance scan accuracy.
- Ensure compatibility with various materials, particularly reflective and transparent ones.
- Optimize the hardware design for portability, stability, and user-friendliness.
- Develop Arduino firmware for scanning operations and basic point cloud data generation.
- Design modularly to allow future expansions, such as adding Raspberry Pi or camera modules.
- Output point cloud data in a format compatible with software like MeshLab.

Documentation:
- Provide basic wiring diagrams
- Firmware code
- User guide

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Proficiency in Arduino and firmware development
- Experience with 3D scanning technologies and laser triangulation
- Strong background in hardware design and multi-sensor calibration
- Problem-solving skills for material compatibility challenges
- Ability to create clear, comprehensive documentation
