It is a ripoff. You aren't being sold a scanner. You're really paying for a crapload of +1000 dollar software that makes photoshop look like a bargain. You NEED this software to operate the scanner, and of course there is 0 chance of this scanner ever running on any other operating systems (like linux or macOS) because the software is not open source and there aren't enough of these scanners flying around for a reverse engineering attempt. It also takes a lot more work than you'd expect to scan. When the base rotates, it takes new scans of the model at progressive angles. These scans must be tediously meshed together manually by YOU to get a single full model. Despite the price going up on this scanner by $500, the scanner has not changed. They've upgraded the software, and that's exactly what you're paying for here. Don't buy, wait for something better.
