Do I have to be an engineer?

No. Anyone can use it. End of story. Unfold it, plug it in, place an object on the scan bed and press go! It’s that simple. Really.

Probably so, but I'm skittish about anything that says that since I got my Solidoodle.

"If you have a look and watch you'll see it's a little different than other laser scanners. We have dual laser lines like some other scanners but they're on the same side giving 2 different angles and also a moving z-axis so you can eliminate more shadow areas and capture points twice from multiple angles and do data averaging of the overlapping points to get better scan."

I didn't see a price point yet.IMHO , these will make our 3d printers more useful.It's what I was looking for.

I'm assuming it's external, maybe they'll have somewhere to hide it inside once it's packed up.
