Is there a scanner that can work out cubic centimetres?
Charlie J:
I have some experience of using 3D scanners for measuring surface area of aggregate particles in a laboratory. I know that 5 years ago you would have to pay at least £10k for one good enough to do what you are asking. I’m sure prices will be cheaper now but still a fairly heavy investment.

Isn't it Archimedes principle? ;D

I think it will work, the displacement method.
Try it theoretically, put a 10cm cube into a full container of water completely submerged, it'll displace it's exact volume in water. That water should now have the same surface area (the water displaced) as the original cube as both are effectively incompressable. Just put the displaced water in a container you can measure and complete the maths on.
It'll even do a the little rimple dimple detail for you.

Hi
Would that not would work out volume not surface area?
Especially if some tubes were sealed

I’m not sure that would work, as displacement is related to volume and not surface area. You could work out cubic centimetres by this method but not square centimetres. Two objects can have the same volume but different surface areas.
