Really love these scans! I would love to have on of these at home, just to tinker with devices and understand how they work.
Then I usually want to check the price, see "Talk to sales" an decide probably not the price range that is good for private use.
Nonetheless, great articles and an amazing device.

- eichin 7mo agoSome of their earlier videos go into a lot of detail on the safety interlocks (including that the radiation near the device can be lower than ambient because it's basically a large chunk of shielding :-) As for pricing, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45392896 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45392896 had some numbers from 5 months ago. It seems like the kind of thing that you'd want as a nearby service, unless you needed to do continuous inspection (they have some automated conveyor sampling products too, it looks like.) My last company had a few 3d-printed components that would have been interesting to spot check after wear testing, but for a lot of things, the competition for the scan is "open it up with a screwdriver" :-)
