ZScanner 700 does 3D scans

Fancy purchasing a 3D scanner? The ZScanner 700 uses lasers and dual cameras to digitize any object you point at into a 3D polygon mesh within minutes. All you've got to do is to attach the included reflective markers to the object and connect the ZScanner 700 to any notebook via FireWire and you're good to go. The image is drawn on your notebook in real time. You can even increase the scanning resolution on-the-fly for a more detailed picture. Strictly meant for the ultra rich and those who dabble in computer animation only, the ZScanner 700 costs a jaw-dropping $39,000.

For the ultra-rich and computer animators??? NOT SO!
I'm a mechanical engineer, and often have to design equipment which will interface with old existing equipment, for which we have no drawings, much less any computer models.
If this baby works anything like the claims, it could eliminate dozens (conservatively) of hours a year of tedious measurements, with their frequent errors and omissions.
At the $100/hr they bill for my time, this , even if I were the only one using it, and if it didn't prevent any design errors due to mismeasurement.
It wasn't designed as a toy, and I am eager to see a demo.
