It is, in fact, a scanner, and printer, for $100.
You see, the laser is sent back and forth across an object, which you turn manually, and you record it with your phone/camera/webcam. The software will look through every pixel of every frame of the video, make a mesh, and possibly a texture too.
All of that, for $100. You do not need the $350 scanner attachment. That includes it's own camera. That is for people who do not have any possible method of taking video recordings. Anyone who is buying a 3d printer has access to a digital camera or camera phone. Just to repeat. You DO NOT need the scanner attachment, if you own a decent camera.
All you need is any camera, recording the object you are scanning. The same laser is used. I suppose you do need your own lazy susan/turntable, but that is what, $10 at the hardware store?
