New $443 3D scanner on
sale: “Looks awesome. Shoots lasers.”
The Photon 3D Scanner, designed in Toronto, exports in STL, OBJ, and PLY
formats.

Weeks after 3D printing
startup Makerbot announced that it would be selling a 3D scanner, a Canadian
startup called Matterform has upped the ante: a C$450 ($443) “Photon 3D
Scanner.”
***SNIP***
For now, the Photon 3D
has made waves in the smaller, entrepreneur-focused end of the 3D printing
world. Backers include Diego Porqueras, the owner of the Deezmaker 3D printer
retail store and the designer of the forthcoming “Bukito” printer set to retail
for around $700.
“I’m a backer—it looks
really promising,” Porqueras told Ars. “We’re definitely keeping an eye out for
that.”
He added that since
announcing the $600 “Bukobot” last year, he’s been overwhelmed with orders and
has been struggling to keep up. Currently, there are around 100 to 200 in the
wild. Still, he’d love to see his Bukobot, or the new Bukito, bundled with the
Photon 3D.
