3D scan to Blender plugin

Is there any thoughts about collaborating with market-leading manufacturers of 3D scanners to make a build-in plugin for their 3D software? For example Solidworks cooperates with Artec , Faro. Smarttech ,etc, and thus advances its product at the market. I think Blender can get more users compared to the competition.

Blender is open source. Any of these manufacturers are welcome to write an add-on (or, if necessary, a more involved patch) for adding support for their hardware in Blender at any time.

Aside from that, I'm not sure how actionable this proposal is. There would need to be more specific information and thought put into this. For instance, where would you expect to see options and settings for 3D scanning in Blender's interface?
