Material identification

This device got lots of discussion way back when. I’m wondering where they are in the project:

New Scio detector might allow automatic detection of materials

The newly crowdfunded Scio near infrared detector might be just what is needed to fingerprint new materials automatically. https://www.consumerphysics.com/myscio/ These detectors are quite good at non-invasively scanning a material and identifying them. It so happens that it works best for materials Glowforge can utilize.
