P.S. Butt-scans work great and can be done in a single pan in about 90 seconds.]]>Feb 1st 2006 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/01/nextengine-scans-3d-on-the-cheap/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/01/nextengine-scans-3d-on-the-cheap/Feb 1st 2006 9:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/01/nextengine-scans-3d-on-the-cheap/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/01/nextengine-scans-3d-on-the-cheap/Feb 2nd 2006 4:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/01/nextengine-scans-3d-on-the-cheap/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/01/nextengine-scans-3d-on-the-cheap/Feb 16th 2006 1:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/01/nextengine-scans-3d-on-the-cheap/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/01/nextengine-scans-3d-on-the-cheap/
A simple google search for '3d scanner' reveals that this the ideea is at least 8 years old, similar scanners were actually homemade some years ago : http://www.simple3d.com/#homemade

It also has some feedback on the optional SolidWorks tools.]]>Nov 15th 2006 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/01/nextengine-scans-3d-on-the-cheap/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/01/nextengine-scans-3d-on-the-cheap/
http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=165192]]>Nov 17th 2006 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/01/nextengine-scans-3d-on-the-cheap/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/01/nextengine-scans-3d-on-the-cheap/
I contacted NextEngine and asked what would be necessary to transfer my license after if and when I sold the scanner on eBay to get back at least part of the $2500.00 I spent on this scanner.

Their reply? I got a call from them and the support person said that the NEW BUYER would have to pay $250.00 for a 3-year warranty in order to activate the software on their computer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF?! So, think about this before you try and sell it. Unlike a laser printer or video card, NextEngine wants to grab $250 every time a used scanner is sold!

I'm heading over to MaximumPC.com and asking the Dog to look into this since I'm pretty sure it is a ripoff. I'll also be making posts elsewhere on the net to make sure everyone is aware that once you get this scanner that you won't be able to get rid of it without forcing the BUYER to cough up money to get it working.

Sorry for the rant, but this really tweaked my day to learn this!]]>Apr 15th 2008 10:45AM
