We\u2019re to help with a comprehensive guide to the best options on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need a crash course in what 3D scanners can do, we\u2019ll also cover the underpinning technologies, popular applications, and the top features to look out for. Let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-are-professional-3d-scanners\">What are Professional 3D Scanners?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Professional 3D scanners are pro-grade devices capable of capturing the dimensions, measurements, and features of a real-world object, space, or human in seconds to construct an equivalent, digital 3D model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professional 3D Scanners differ from consumer-grade scanners. They are designed to offer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Higher levels of accuracy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better resolutions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Faster scan speeds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes them suitable for a range of demanding industrial applications and work environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-applications\">Applications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Professional 3D scanners are employed in a wide variety of applications, the number growing as the technology becomes more affordable and propagates throughout more and more industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best professional 3D scanners are the tools of choice for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/guides\/rapid-prototyping-3d-printing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"6162\">prototyping<\/a>, reverse engineering, architectural and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/feature-stories\/3d-printed-car-parts-classic-car-restoration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"6163\">automotive restoration<\/a>, heritage conservation, quality control in manufacturing, custom orthotics and implants, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-scanners\/dental-3d-scanners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"6164\">dental modeling<\/a>, crime scene documentation, virtual reality, and game development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-types-of-professional-3d-scanners\">Types of Professional 3D Scanners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Though all professional 3D scanners perform the same essential function of collecting data from a real-world object to create a 3D model, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-scanners\/structured-light-vs-laser-3d-scanning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"6165\">technology<\/a> changes depending on the device. Here&#8217;s a brief explanation of the most common types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Laser Triangulation<\/strong> &#8211; Laser triangulation 3D scanners sweep a laser across the surface of an object. The scanner then measures how the laser\u2019s trajectory deforms and reflects in relation to sensors mounted on the scanner to map the object\u2019s measurements and shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Structured Light<\/strong> &#8211; Like laser triangulation, structured light 3D scanners project a light pattern onto an object. The scanner then analyzes deformations and reflections on the light pattern\u2019s edges to measure an object\u2019s size and shape based on the distance to scanner-mounted sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Handheld vs Stationary<\/strong> &#8211; Handheld professional 3D scanners allow for more flexibility and portability, usually prized for scanning hard-to-reach places and larger objects while being easy to operate. Stationary professional 3D scanners suit smaller objects, employing a tripod and turntable setup to automate the scanning process for applications where highly-accurate and feature-rich scans are a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-best-professional-3d-scanners\">Best Professional 3D Scanners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-shining-3d-einscan-sp-affordable-professional-3d-scanner\">Shining 3D EinScan SP &#8211;

For the most demanding applications, we recommend a resolution of 0.1 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accuracy is a little different in that it measures a professional scanner\u2019s ability to replicate the precise measurements of a real-world object. For professional 3D scanners, 0.1 mm represents a bare minimum in our estimation, with the most advanced options offering accuracy as low as 0.009 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-price\">Price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to a flurry of new options hitting the market in recent years, buying a reliable and accurate professional 3D scanner at a budget that aligns with your finances has never been easier. Depending on your needs, it\u2019s entirely possible to pay under $2,000 for a good quality general use professional 3D scanner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for the most advanced options boasting best-in-the-business accuracy, expect to pay north of $30,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-use-case\">Use Case<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding the right 3D scanner can be quite tricky, but honing in on what you want to scan can slim down your shortlist. Consider the size of the scanned objects, your resolution\/accuracy tolerances, and whether you need the convenience of a handheld professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/rankings\/best-3d-scanner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"6168\">3D scanner<\/a> or prefer the largely automated process of a stationary device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-time-for-your-project-to-complete\">Time For Your Project to Complete<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to scanning speed, it\u2019s worth considering whether you can take a slight downgrade in overall scan quality for a significant boost in scan speed. In other words, consider a scanner in relation to how quickly you need to complete a project. If time is on your side and you need high accuracy results, perhaps a slower but more precise option is better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-best-professional-3d-scanners-faqs\">Best Professional 3D Scanners &#8211; FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq uagb-faq__outer-wrap uagb-block-cae3d695 uagb-faq-icon-row uagb-faq-layout-accordion uagb-faq-expand-first-false uagb-faq-inactive-other-true uagb-faq__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap uagb-faq-equal-height\" data-faqtoggle=\"true\" role=\"tablist\"><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-scanners\/best-professional-3d-scanners\/\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What Is The Most Popular Industrial 3D Scanner?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The Artec Eva is among the most popular and sought-after industrial 3D scanners.
