I think it will be if it does what they say it will, however, I've scoured the net and haven't found one review of it.....

carveguy...Your order must be in the second shipment as the first lot have been shipped. There was a small problem with accuracy variance over the operating temperature range which is being corrected before shipment. There has also been some exporting problems to some countries because of that countries importing regulations. My order has been shipped and expect to receive in 5-7 days.

I ordererd mine back in march my shipment has been delayed till the end of august.
They did send me a thank you with a 1 gig nano drive to keep me happy.
I will be using mine to duplicate and scale carvings I make, and surely will find many other uses for my sign and furniture business.

Brian...Orders were being taken from February and the release was to be June. Later the date was set at 30 June. Dispatching was then started on 14 July for the first shipment. There has been a technical hiccup which caused a delay.
As I live in New Zealand there was a problem with export but this has been overcome. I have found NextEngine very good to deal with.

Brian,

What is the nano-drive for?

They sent the nano drive as a thank you for my order, and I think goodwill so orders do not get cancelled.
Of course the more I wait the more I want it.

The nanodrive is a 1GB USB2 keyring storage device.
I think all customers who ordered early received one as a thankyou.

I am yet another potential buyer of this NextEngine 3D scanner, and I've scoured the net looking for reviews to no avail, just like the rest of you guys.

I am really eager to hear about hands-on experience with this thing - if there's anyone out there who has one, please, don't hold back!

I have received a unit but now away to upgrade my PC. USB1 is certainly not up to it, 15 min per scan.

[carveguy]

I have recieved the flash drive but still no scanner.

I agree with brianh, the more I wait the more I want it.

But I glad hear some people have recieved their scanner.

Has anybody tried the color/texture option yet?

Mine has shipped and as luck would have it I will be going out of state for a week to do some work, as soon as I can I will post results.

Got the scanner last night!!
The first scan (small polar bear sculpture) was done 20 minutes out of the box.
It also included colored texture (the sculpture is white) as seen is this render from Rhinoceros.
Now to learn stiching, hole filling, etc.

Overall the first impression is very professional hardware, software and even packaging.
