Topic: dynamically adjust scanning speed
Just a thought for FreeLSS (if it doesn't already do it), the Matter & Form software's latest version came with a scanning mode where it could dynamically adjust the angle it turns between scans based on the distance of the bits it is scanning from the center of the turntable. As it rotates through a part that is small and near the center, it can rotate more between scans since the separation between scan lines will be smaller for objects near the center. As a wider piece of the part rotates into the scanning plane, it rotates through a smaller angle to try to keep the scan lines separated by about the same amount when the part sticks out more and is farther from the center. This really did seem to speed up most scans quite a bit (though, of course, it still seems terribly slow :-).
