Hey guys,

I’ve got a pretty simple question this time: what’s the best HIGH-END 3D scanner out there? I’m looking to take complete 360 degree scans of action figures and small(ish) toys, and I’ve got some money to spend in doing so. So, I’d love to hear everyone’s opinion.

Right now, I’ve been looking at dental scanners (on eBay). I see one called the exocad that looks like a good machine, but I’m not sure how it would work for my specific purpose. Are dental scanners made only to scan dental items, or will they work on anything?

I’ve had (and resold) a Matter & Form scanner, and a Sense (Cubify). Neither of them worked well at all. If I have to pay a little (or a lot) more for a scanner to be idiot proof, then that’s fine. I just want one that will do a great job.

It should be worth noting that I’d ultimately like to 3D print these scans. I’m not sure if that has any bearing on recommendations.

Like I said, I’d love to hear from everyone.

Thanks!

matt

High end scanners can cost well over £30,000 !

youcan have a look at the Chinese Ein Scan which has a turntable and is a white light scanner. I saw one at the TCT show and it looked pretty good. It costs about £800
