BIG  NEWS: The MakerBot Digitizer is here. Priced at $1,400.

Sounds like we need an open scanner project

Wait i think that scanner head “eye” looks like a kinnect with a close up lens?

From the looks of it this is a two camera, laser scanner and not a structured light or stereo scanner. Can anyone confirm that?

If its two camera laser scan that’s still $ 400 top wack. Software $ 1000 don’t think so.

You would think they would make the makerbot 2 work properly before investing into new r&d … not impressed!

It’s about dollars, not the 3D printing community any more. Go for Open projects instead.

@Shachar_Weis ever heard of lenses to focus a kinnect or is that beyond your skills.
