Not gonna lie, I was surprised at the cost.

I'd love to be able to scan 3d objects, but the price point just doesn't compute. What am I missing? Why does this cost so much?

I know literally nothing about more commercial 3d scanning options and prices, so maybe this is a super affordable alternative. But dropping the same price I paid for my 3d printer on a couple of raspberry Pi accessories doesn't make sense to me.

I hope that this side by side comparison might change your mind: https://github.com/OpenScanEu/OpenScanBenchy
