Would you spend $1000 for a 3D scanner printer add-on that works reliably?

AFAIK, the only similarity is it is inside a printer. They use a turntable with lasers scanning in a line and a camera like Makerbot.

i can't really know because i haven't buy it, but consider to.
but i point that only because it is in the same path, to have a scanner inside your printer, unless i misunderstood.
