Threedimensional printer with scanning ?

[Externet]

Hello. Does such mode / attachment or featured machine exist ?
Where you place an object in it, gets laser scanned for dimensions, and saves file for replicating later ? Like a copier machine... At some moment was called 'SantaClaus machine'

I recall the Ontario Science Museum had one over 40 yrs ago.
Now they are portable scanners e.g. https://www.revopoint3d.com/pages/reverse-engineering
