basically huge numbers of data points that denote where an object is &#8212; to create a 3D model of the scanned part. Millions of individual data points make up the model, which you can then export as an STL, OBJ or other file type and import to CAD software, or 3D print via a slicer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3D scanning includes several different technologies, such as Structured Light scanning and Laser Triangulation, while some are stationary and some are handheld.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"budget\">The Best 3D Scanners 2022: Budget Picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f4f4f4;font-size:11px\">3DSourced is reader-supported.

It employs structured light technology to feel out the shape, size, and texture of a 3D object to generate a digital reproduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creality has fitted the CR-Scan 01 with both a handheld mode and a stationary turntable mode, each with their own set of advantages: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>In handheld mode<\/strong>, the scanner quickly works through larger objects, offering flexibility and on-the-fly capture. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Switch to turntable mode<\/strong>, and the tripod-mounted Creality CR-Scan 01 creates an automated, higher-accuracy 360\u00b0 scan as the object rotates on the turntable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both modes offer accuracy of 0.1 mm, a resolution of 0.5 mm, 24-bit high-fidelity color mapping, and marker-free scanning thanks to a clever alignment algorithm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Creality CR-Scan 01 also makes smart adjustments based on light levels, making it suitable for low-light environments. These are all excellent features for the asking price and sufficient for most hobbyist scanning needs, although somewhat lacking for high-precision scanning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, where the Creality CR-Scan 01 shines is a distance of 400-900 mm, which outclasses most budget 3D scanners, with a scanning area of 536 x 378 mm. In practice, you can scan medium to large objects further away with a larger frame size, which speeds up the scanning process considerably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the bundled Creality&#8217;s CR Studio is a robust post-processing suite with all manner of editing, repair, color, and smoothing tools to polish off digital scans ready for 3D printing or other applications. It&#8217;s a solid competitor to the Revopoint scanners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3

desktop 3D scanner made by the Canadian tech startup. This low-cost 3D scanner uses 2 lasers and an HD-CMOS sensor to produce high-resolution, full-color 3D scans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scanner has an accuracy of up to around 0.1mm, and is easily connectable to your computer through USB to transfer over your scans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For editing scans, the Matter and Form scanner comes with specialized Mfstudio, and +Quickscan which boosts scan speed to up to 65 seconds. You can then export the STL file and print them with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-printers\/best-3d-printer\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"202\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"7200\">3D printer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 3D scanner can scan objects in sizes up to 25 cm tall and 18 cm in diameter. It is compatible with every major OS, so Mac users needn&#8217;t worry. What we like most however is that it folds up, making it a perfect portable 3D scanner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Matter-and-Form-V2-3D-Scanner.jpg\" alt=\"matter and form v2 3d scanner\" class=\"wp-image-2212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Matter-and-Form-V2-3D-Scanner.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Matter-and-Form-V2-3D-Scanner-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The new Matter and Form scanner can generate a full 3D scan in 65 seconds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"mid-range\">Medium Priced 3D Scanners: $1,000 to $10,000<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-shining-3d-einscan-se-best-3d-scanner-under-1-500\">Shining 3D EinScan SE &#8212;

It scans in around 8 seconds (versus 4 seconds for the EinScan SP) and can complete a whole 360-degree scan in its Automatic Scan mode in around 2 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can scan objects up to around 200 mm wide and 150 mm tall, with a single shot accuracy of within 0.1 mm &#8212; making it one of the best 3D scanners under $2000. For a fixed scan without the turntable, max scan volume increases up to 700 x 700 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, this 3D model scanner is accurate, reliable, and makes it easy to quickly scan stationary objects and 3D print them with ease. The EinScan SP &#8212; described in more detail further in this guide &#8212; is more precise, but costs more. Therefore, it&#8217;s a matter of your budget and how important this additional quality is for you personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img

with a particular emphasis on bringing usually tricky 3D objects to digital life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EinScan H combines two light sources &#8211; structured LED and invisible infrared &#8211; to cover a wide range of 3D objects, modes, and applications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the infrared light excels at capturing the detail and intricacies of darker colors, notably those of human hair and general facial scanning &#8211; with dark hair the bane of any experienced face 3D scanner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An added benefit of the invisible light is more comfortable scanning for the subject and no on-face glare to complicate the scanning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manufacturer Shining 3D has also gone to considerable lengths to merge impressive accuracy and resolution along with fast scanning speeds. The EinScan H pushes a resolution of 0.25 mm with accuracy as low as 0.05 mm, all at roughly 1,200,000 points\/s at 20FPS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scanner also features authentic, full-color reproduction with solid texture mapping that translates to systematically excellent scan quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Shining 3D, it\u2019s possible to scan an entire human body in fine detail in a matter of minutes. A generous 420 x 440 mm single capture range helps keep things speedy even when scanning large objects aided by an optimized alignment algorithm to keep scans crisp and precise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although priced at $5000, the EinScan H falls roughly in the affordable range and is a versatile tool suited for healthcare, art, forensic science, and other professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/guides\/3d-character-modeling-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"11489\">3D modeling applications<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-scantech-ireal-2e-color-3d-scanner-a-complete-3d-scanning-solution\">Scantech iReal 2E Color 3D Scanner &#8212; A complete 3D scanning solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> $3,980<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scanning area:<\/strong> Up to&nbsp;850 mm x&nbsp;800 mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accuracy<\/strong>: Up to 0.100 mm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-eea95faf gb-container-3613bd9f\" id=\"pros-cons-pattern\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-1ac45737 gb-grid-wrapper-dab919b5\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-6bbaf78c gb-grid-column-ce5dd51d\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-6bbaf78c gb-container-ce5dd51d\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-1fb11f89 gb-headline-text gb-headline-a7803bff\">Pros<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-fc81c8c3 gb-headline-cca0dfdf\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M173.898 439.404l-166.4-166.4c-9.997-9.997-9.997-26.206 0-36.204l36.203-36.204c9.997-9.998 26.207-9.998 36.204 0L192 312.69 432.095 72.596c9.997-9.997 26.207-9.997 36.204 0l36.203 36.204c9.997 9.997 9.997 26.206 0 36.204l-294.4 294.401c-9.998 9.997-26.207 9.997-36.204-.001z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">User friendly and requires no special skills or training.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-c1951982 gb-headline-cca0dfdf\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M173.898 439.404l-166.4-166.4c-9.997-9.997-9.997-26.206 0-36.204l36.203-36.204c9.997-9.998 26.207-9.998 36.204 0L192 312.69 432.095 72.596c9.997-9.997 26.207-9.997 36.204 0l36.203 36.204c9.997 9.997 9.997 26.206 0 36.204l-294.4 294.401c-9.998 9.997-26.207 9.997-36.204-.001z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">High-quality scanning with its advanced red VCSEL structured light technology.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-3b761885 gb-headline-cca0dfdf\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M173.898 439.404l-166.4-166.4c-9.997-9.997-9.997-26.206 0-36.204l36.203-36.204c9.997-9.998 26.207-9.998 36.204 0L192 312.69 432.095 72.596c9.997-9.997 26.207-9.997 36.204 0l36.203 36.204c9.997 9.997 9.997 26.206 0 36.204l-294.4 294.401c-9.998 9.997-26.207 9.997-36.204-.001z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">One of the fastest handheld 3D scanners available.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-8303ba16 gb-grid-column-b97ad919\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-8303ba16 gb-container-b97ad919\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-e4c96605 gb-headline-text gb-headline-a7803bff\">Cons<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-a58875ce gb-headline-ec22c345\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M256 8C119.034 8 8 119.033 8 256s111.034 248 248 248 248-111.034 248-248S392.967 8 256 8zm130.108 117.892c65.448 65.448 70 165.481 20.677 235.637L150.47 105.216c70.204-49.356 170.226-44.735 235.638 20.676zM125.892 386.108c-65.448-65.448-70-165.481-20.677-235.637L361.53 406.784c-70.203 49.356-170.226 44.736-235.638-20.676z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">There are more accurate 3D scanners out there for reverse engineering purposes or meteorology.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>iReal 2E is a professional handheld color 3D scanner manufactured by <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.3d-scantech.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-id=\"7205\">Scantech<\/a>.

Keep an eye on scan resolution quality and accuracy, scan speed, and price to find a 3D scanner that\u2019s worth it for you.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2>Buyer\u2019s Guide &#8211; Things To Consider When Buying A 3D Scanner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>Budget<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Expect to pay anywhere from $400 to $200,000 for a 3D scanner. There are numerous options suited to all budgets dotted between those two extremes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entry-level hobby scanners suitable for 3D printing are available for less than $1,000, while more robust machines suited for light-professional scanning sell for around $5,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should you want the cream of the crop scanners designed for the most-demanding industrial-level applications such as engineering, expect to pay more than $10,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Speed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When applied to 3D scanners, speed refers to the rate at which a machine captures or scans a 3D object. Consumers and most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-scanners\/best-professional-3d-scanners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"7214\">professional 3D scanners<\/a> record speed in points per second or frames per second. The higher the count, the faster the scanner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re buying for a professional setting where productivity is critical, we recommend eyeing faster printers, which generally push points per second into the millions and frame rates around 20 FPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Resolution and Accuracy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Accuracy refers to how well the finished digital object matches its real-world counterpart. Accuracy pops up in specification sheets expressed in mm, which indicates to what degree the 3D scan sticks to the shape, size, features, etc., of the real-world object. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a budget 3D scanner, 0.1-0.2 mm is a solid reference point, while much more expensive industry scanners can jump to as low as 0.009 mm on the most powerful devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though similar to accuracy, the resolution refers to the smallest possible distance between points on a 3D scan. In layman&#8217;s terms, a higher resolution delivers finer details and more intricate, faithful features. You&#8217;ll find manufacturers refer to resolution in mm, a measure that balloons and shrinks based on the price of the 3D scanner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Budget printers waver around 0.3-0.5 mm, while professional scanners can push resolutions as high as 0.1 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Software and Connectivity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Connectivity refers to how a 3D scanner allows you to scan, export work, and interface with a PC or other device as well as the source of power. In most cases, USB is the standard, with some outliers offering Bluetooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for portability, consider handheld scanners that pair with Smartphones and power banks so you can quickly scan on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Software tied to 3D scanners come in all shapes and sizes, from barebones scanning tools to advanced suites with all manner of post-processing touch-up options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It goes without saying that software capabilities match the target audience of each scanner. Pay more for a professional scanner, and the software generally features a more robust set of tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Use Case<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Entry-level 3D scanners are a good option for hobbyists looking to scan objects with 3D printing in mind. They are just about affordable and work well, although they lack the detail and speed of pricier models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend handheld 3D scanners for larger models. These grant a degree of freedom and movement to capture all the detail and breadth of bigger objects. A large scan area helps speed up scanning large objects, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For small fixed object scanning, where capturing all the rich details and texture of a model tops your list of requirements, look to stationary scanners, ideally with a turntable, tripod, and an optimized alignment algorithm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-3d-scanning-to-3d-print\">3D Scanning to 3D Print<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>3D scanners are often used to create 3D printable models, with 3D scanner and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-printers\/best-3d-printer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"7215\">3D printer<\/a> setups allowing you to replicate almost anything in front of you. Simply use the 3D scanning camera to create a digital model of your object, and then 3D print the scan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Large objects can be scanned using handheld 3D scanners and moved around the object&#8217;s dimensions, and then sized down and 3D printed as a scale model. These 3D printer scanner combos offer almost limitless versatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>3D Scanner Cost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>Budget\/entry-level<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to efforts from companies like Creality and Revopoint, there\u2019s a concerted effort to lower the cost of entry and boost accessibility to 3D scanners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s now possible to buy a decent entry-level scanner for under $1,000, with ultra-budget options like the Phiz 3D scanner dropping as low as $400. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the experience and features measure up to the price paid, budget 3D scanners offer everything needed to create decent quality scans suitable for hobbyist applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-91ebbb5f\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" viewbox=\"0 0 256 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M224.3 273l-136 136c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-22.6-22.6c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l96.4-96.4-96.4-96.4c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9L54.3 103c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l136 136c9.5 9.4 9.5 24.6.1 34z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\"><strong>Read more:<\/strong> the top <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-scanners\/cheap-3d-scanner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"7216\">low-cost 3D scanners<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Mid-range<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jumping up to the mid-range category, you\u2019ll find 3D scanners priced anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000.

Scanners<\/h2>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-820822a8 gb-headline-text\">The main types of 3D scanners include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Laser triangulation 3D scanners<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Structured light 3D scanning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Photogrammetry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LIDAR (time-of-flight)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Metrology 3D scanners<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intraoral 3D scanners for dentistry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3D body scanners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The two most-used technologies are structured light scanning and laser triangulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-structured-light-scanning\">Structured Light Scanning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Structured light scanning is commonly used in handheld 3D scanners and involves projecting patterns of light at an object, with two cameras usually placed on either side of the projector to measure the light pattern from each side and calculate precise differences at every point in their field of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These cameras measure how the light deforms the light pattern, and by triangulating these multiple different reference points across different images of the scan from each camera view, you can accurately calculate the dimensions of the object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of its portability and accuracy, dental 3D scanners typically use structured light scanning to scan patients\u2019 mouths and create dental implants and models. Beyond this however, architects and historians are using these types of 3D scanning to keep digital records of priceless historical monuments, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/centers\/ames\/research\/technology-onepagers\/high-speed-3d-scanner.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"7220\">NASA even use it to map interplanetary terrains<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the use of projected light makes it very sensitive to the lighting conditions in the scanning environment, so working outside or in other similar environments can be difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-laser-triangulation\">Laser triangulation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Laser scanning involves projecting a laser point on an object and then using sensors to capture the reflections to gather data on the object\u2019s size. Based on the reflection angle from the laser\u2019s sensors, the 3D scanner can create accurate textures and surfaces using trigonometric functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, because it works off reflections it can be ineffective if scanning shiny or reflective surfaces, and won\u2019t work well with anything transparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Structured light scanning is generally considered more accurate than laser scanning, with less noise in scans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-lidar-3d-scanning-and-time-of-flight-3d-scanning\">LiDAR 3D scanning and Time of Flight 3D scanning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another form of 3D scanning, and the technology used in the latest iPhone 12 Pro, is LiDAR. Light Detection and Ranging involves shooting out light beams and calculating the object&#8217;s area \u2014 based on the speed of light \u2014 on the time taken to reflect back to the Lidar 3D scanner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are very similar to time-of-flight 3D scanners. These scanners shoot light pulses, calculating the time of flight for each pulse to create a 3D visualization \u2014 or point cloud. They&#8217;re commonly used to map terrains, measure real estate, and in architecture and construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Handheld 3D Scanners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Portable and versatile by design, handheld scanners allow you to efficiently and freely scan large objects, narrow spaces, or all the details of a human subject, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Stationary 3D Scanners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fixed scanners are a solid option if you plan to scan small objects and want the device to do most of the heavy lifting. They generally come with a stand or tripod and turntable. Automated scanning is also typically part of the deal here, with different modes of alignment to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>3D Body Scanners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name implies, 3D body scanners are specifically designed to capture a full 3D scan of human bodies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Towering machines, usually priced in the tens of thousands of dollars, 3D body scanners provide a fast and accurate 3D body scan for various applications, including health, fitness, animation, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-8b4bce67\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" viewbox=\"0 0 256 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M224.3 273l-136 136c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-22.6-22.6c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l96.4-96.4-96.4-96.4c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9L54.3 103c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l136 136c9.5 9.4 9.5 24.6.1 34z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\"><strong>Read more:<\/strong> our feature story on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-scanners\/3d-body-scanners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"7221\">3D body scanners<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>3D Scanner FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq uagb-faq__outer-wrap uagb-block-4f8f2f5d 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\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq-child uagb-faq-child__outer-wrap uagb-block-e1db2b9b\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-child__wrapper\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-item\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-questions-button uagb-faq-questions\"><span class=\"uagb-icon uagb-faq-icon-wrap\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"uagb-icon-active uagb-faq-icon-wrap\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"uagb-question\">Which is the Best 3D Scanner?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"uagb-faq-content\"><span><p>For those on a budget, our top pick is the <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.revopoint3d.com\/collections\/3d-scanners\/products\/pop-3d-scanner?ref=pnxh8b9fyn&amp;variant=41847467540667\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Revopoint POP<\/a>.
