Which 3D scanner is best suited for your project?

The 3D scanner market is a diverse space with a wide range of products that come in all shapes, sizes, capabilities, and prices. Such choice, while a great thing in itself, can make sorting the goods from the ordinary a difficult task.

Whether you’re looking for the perfect entry-level scanner suitable for consumers or hobbyists, a more powerful machine with better software and workflows, or an industrial-level 3D scanner that can handle advanced tasks like quality control, reverse engineering, and maintenance, we’re confident you’ll find a scanner in this list that is up for the task and budget at hand.

If you are still uncertain about which scanner to use, contact a professional leader in Reverse Engineering and CAD software.

For 3D scanning of your items, we recommend state of the art 3D scan device from  Shining3D, Creaform, Solutionix or GOM.
