Gaper -- sounds like you should start a business doing this since you think it would be so easy.
Even if you figured out a cost-effective way to create individual molds, the bottom line is that feet are tricky. Each foot can take a different level of compression, which can change over time. Bone spurs can grow. Injuries can require more punching, etc. With a boot fitter, those can be addressed without buying a new shell."Alpine rock and steep, deep powder are what I seek, and I will always find solace there." - Bean Bowers

This. My 106 left foot fits in 98 boots with no punch. My 107 right foot needs a significant punch. I have much more faith in an experienced human than a cheap 3D scan for getting my boots right. I've had good experiences with a number of boot fitters (and I bet most weren't even "top 100"), despite feet that are shaped/behave quite differently because of a fracture. But I know exactly what I want, and I'm patient. I have no problem making half a dozen visits to get a boot dialed. It's hard for a boot fitter to do a good job if customers A) don't know what they want, and B) are impatient. Maybe a wonder-app can help in such cases.

whelp, this thread went to shit pretty fast so I don't feel bad about wasting the space responding here - lol. Doing pretty good, skiing a bit less, but whenever I do I am totally hooked again. Now its time for new boots, so the internet gear research has kicked up a notch. Been out of the ski world for a few years, so getting caught back up with latest hotness: cast, shift, phantom, a whole crop of rad boots with tech inserts, etc. Fun to hear from you - I guess you moved, huh?

I only repeated it twice. But a mm here or there don’t mean much IMO.

Well, I got up to 4mm different in length and 3 mm different in width. Considering the OP is talking about this in the context of punching and grinding boots, a few mm does mean a lot IME.
Obviously the app is cool enough that I played with it a bunch, so from that standpoint, thanks for sharing OP. But yeah, I think you'd be more accurate with a ruler."Alpine rock and steep, deep powder are what I seek, and I will always find solace there." - Bean Bowers

I'd be more concerned that your left foot is a full size smaller than your right.
Anyway, wrap liners are the best I've found for instep -- so some tour wraps whenever they're back in stock would be a smart option regardless of boot choice. Some older Tecnica models had super high insteps, but I'm not sure if that's true of the newer ones."Alpine rock and steep, deep powder are what I seek, and I will always find solace there." - Bean Bowers
