"What 3D Program Should I buy?" Not one person here can really tell you what's best for you, as everyone has their own taste in workflow. Try the demo or learning edition of the program you're interested in, this is the only way to find out which programs you like.
It is actually +-.2mm (about 0.008") in the article, which is why decimals should always be preceeded by a zero (ie 0.2) if there is no whole number component.
When I have a chance I want to test the accuracy of photomodeling software to see how it compares to laser scanning. I'm sure it won't be as good, but I would like to know reallistically what is achievable.

I've been taking classes on modeling for fabrication using Rhino, 3dsmax, and even a little Solidworks. I model almost everything with 3d printing in mind, ie; "water-tight" manifolds. It's not so much a concern in Rhino or Solidworks, but I usually STL check everything I model in 3dsmax for problems like holes, unwelded verts, or overlapping edges, which could cause real problems with 3D printers.
