There have been a few DIY solutions for this during the years (probably where makerbot stole it from in the first place). Try searching around the net for those and see what they offer before you decide to pay the insane price of makerbot's solution. It's been many years since I tried it myself but I think there was some software called David-somethingsomething that you used together with a laserpointer and a webcam, may be a place to start at least.
There's also the photo based solutions like 123d catch http://www.123dapp.com/catch

Hi,
I see the http://cubify.com/sense/ that is not too expensive, I haven't bought it yet because I didn't see it for sale on a Dutch website and I have my doubts about the resolution.
Groet Dree
