I’m sure there’s the small issue of radiological safety as well. Obviously one can be trained to not fry yourself with x-rays, but I wouldn’t, say, pick one up off Aliexpress and have at it.

Some 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 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" :-)
I bet it's something you can lease with a traceable calibration certificate.
