Fuel3D Scanner To Announce Additional Funding
You may recall back last year when the Fuel3D scanner launched on Kickstarter. This was the start of what may end up becoming a rather large company. At the 3D Print Show in NYC this week, they intend to announce additional funding, over and above the $325k they got on Kickstarter last year:

The scanner is offered at a reasonable price compared to competitors and will turn 3D objects in the real world into 3D models on your PC.

Very interesting. So is the scanner already out or do they need additional funding in order to produce the units that KS backers purchased?

Saw it last night at 3D Print Show in NYC. Got my face scanned in a second and in high resolution. Blew me away. Seeing my likeness so quickly reduced to a 3D model was a bit unnerving.

Hmm, with vat it's £990 around $1600
And yes that is very cheap for a good hand held scanner.
BUT next year there are going to be a lot of intel based tablets hitting the market with built in stereo cameras and 3d scanning apps readily available to use them.
And even the top of the range piece of crap ipad isn't a thousand pounds.
I'll wait.
But if I were a business looking to see whether or not a handheld scanner would help - yeah I'd get one.

Ever since Professor Ron Daniel developed an advanced 3D scanning system and solutions for the medical imaging sector for Fuel3D, the company began adapting the technology for the broader 3D imaging market. Now the company says their scanner will be available at retail locations throughout North America via a deal with WYNIT Distribution, a national distributor of consumer electronics, photo, wide format printing, and security equipment based in New York state.

Fuel3D, the company behind the popular SCANIFY line of 3D scanners, has announced that they are releasing two new scanner accessories that promise to make the scanning process easier and more convenient. The SCANIFY Mobile Package allows for a tablet computer and a lithium ion battery to be mounted on your scanner, making it completely portable. The SCANIFY Press-and-Scan Compound is a soft, Play-Doh-like substance that creates reverse images of objects pressed into it, enabling users to take clear scans of objects that were previously difficult to capture because of their reflective properties.
