IdenticalYou 3D Scan & Print Franchise Opportunity

Australian-based IdenticalYou is seeking franchisees for their business. IdenticalYou is a portable 3D scanning and printing booth for making 3d printed selfies. The business, according to the company, uses proprietary technology to scan an individual within a fraction of a second, and then print that scan out. The company is looking for franchisees throughout Australia, as well as the rest of the world. Initial investment will be between 179-500k AUD. More details on this franchise opportunity can be found here: http://3dprint.com/18098/3d-printing-franchise/

What do you guys think? Could this be a profitable business idea? Below is a rendering of their 3D scanner:

Considering most Australians still don't know what a 3D printer is, they might have a hard time selling them for 500k lol...

It all depends how portable it is, and do they supply the trailer for it etc, you are the one carting that thing to shopping centres all day, it needs to be easy to move.

I'd be in for it for sure, as long as they had a franchise area deal in place, you don't want more than one of these at the same mall.

I'm wary of a business that does not have a readily accessible web site.

Has anyone heard of a commercial 3D scanner of similar size?

It is important to note that Identical You is being run by a man called Daniel Erefor (this is not his real name - his also uses the identities Daniel Hannah and Daniel Albert) and he has scammed many people out of money with franchise businesses dating back many years. Here are links to articles about him. If you feel that this information is useful and will prevent people from investing in the company of this man who is a well-known fraudster, please share among the 3D printing community:

This man is Daniel Albert / Daniel Hannah / Daniel Erefor - he uses all of these names:

That middle link directing mentions the ACCC. This is the Australian Government's consumer affairs watchdog. This is its website https://www.accc.gov.au/

If the ACCC has named a people and taken legal action, those people make Snake Oil salesmen look respectable. I said back in August that this smelt fishier than the bilge water of a Gulf of Carpentaria prawn trawler.
