In fact, there are some very accurate DIY 3D scanners on our list, you just need to assemble them yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part: <strong>they&#8217;re almost free<\/strong> if you 3D print

They&#8217;ve also developed their Ciclop DIY 3D scanner, which scans a volume up to 250 x 205 mm, based on laser triangulation technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An important feature of the BQ Ciclop is that it&#8217;s a completely open source 3D scanner. You&#8217;re free to modify it as you wish, following the RepRap philosophy. It&#8217;s easily accessible via USB or Bluetooth, and can 3D scan with a resolution of between 0.3-0.5mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>We also have a ranking of the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-printers\/open-source-3d-printer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"7650\">open source 3D printers<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great addition to this DIY 3D scanner is that it works with Horus open source 3D scanning suite which BQ also developed. This makes scanning much easier with the compatible program. You can buy just the electronics (includes an Arduino, webcam etc) and print the parts yourself for $115, or buy the whole kit for $240. Not bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is worthy of note that the BQ Ciclop is difficult to assemble. Other DIY 3D scanners are quicker and simpler to build, though the Ciclop is still a fantastic DIY 3D digitizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-affiliate-plugin-lasso\"><div id=\"lasso-anchor-id-23115-10438\" class=\"lasso-container\">\n    <!-- LASSO DISPLAY BOX (https:\/\/getlasso.co) -->\n\t<div class=\"lasso-display lasso-cactus lasso-url-he3d-open-source-ciclop-diy-3d-systems-scanner-kit-for-3d-printer-advanced-laser-scanner-injection-molding-plastics-parts \">\n\t\t<!-- BADGE -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-badge\">\n\t\t\t\tBest DIY 3D Scanner Kit Under $200\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t<!-- LASSO TITLE, PRICE, DESC, AND IMAGE -->\n\t\t<div class=\"lasso-box-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"lasso-title\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/HE3D-Systems-Advanced-Injection-Plastics\/dp\/B076B9SXK8?tag=3dsourced-20\" data-lasso-box-trackable=\"true\" data-lasso-id=\"23115\" data-lasso-name=\"HE3D Open Source Ciclop DIY 3D Systems Scanner Kit for 3D Printer\" title=\"HE3D Open Source Ciclop DIY 3D Systems Scanner Kit for 3D Printer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">\n\t\t\t\t\tHE3D Open Source Ciclop DIY 3D Systems Scanner Kit for 3D Printer\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-price\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-price-value\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"discount-price\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"latest-price\">$159.00<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"lasso-amazon-prime\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes, you'll get better quality if you spend more on a scanner like the Revopoint POP range, but with this you get to build your own 3D scanner from the parts for several hundred dollars less.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"lasso-box-2\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"lasso-image\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/HE3D-Systems-Advanced-Injection-Plastics\/dp\/B076B9SXK8?tag=3dsourced-20\" data-lasso-box-trackable=\"true\" data-lasso-id=\"23115\" data-lasso-name=\"HE3D Open Source Ciclop DIY 3D Systems Scanner Kit for 3D Printer\" title=\"HE3D Open Source Ciclop DIY 3D Systems Scanner Kit for 3D Printer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">\n\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/41AwYTrO6aL._SL500_.webp\" height=\"500\" width=\"500\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"HE3D Open Source Ciclop DIY 3D Systems Scanner Kit for 3D Printer\">\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<!-- BUTTONS -->\n\t\t<div class=\"lasso-box-3\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"lasso-button-1\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/HE3D-Systems-Advanced-Injection-Plastics\/dp\/B076B9SXK8?tag=3dsourced-20\" data-lasso-box-trackable=\"true\" data-lasso-id=\"23115\" data-lasso-name=\"HE3D Open Source Ciclop DIY 3D Systems Scanner Kit for 3D Printer\" title=\"HE3D Open Source Ciclop DIY 3D Systems Scanner Kit for 3D Printer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">\n\t\t\t\tAmazon here\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"lasso-box-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<!-- DISCLOSURE & DATE -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-box-5\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-disclosure\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>We earn a commission if you make a purchase, at no additional cost to you.<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"lasso-box-6\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"lasso-date\">\n\t\t\t\t05\/25\/2023 05:18 am GMT <i class=\"lasso-amazon-info\" data-tooltip=\"Price and availability are accurate as of the date and time indicated and are subject to change.\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-2-murobo-atlas-great-raspberry-pi-3d-scanner\">Murobo Atlas &#8212;

This is because the Atlas DIY 3D scanner uses a Raspberry Pi camera to take detailed 3D scans with an accuracy of 0.25mm. Depending on your choice, the Atlas is likely to cost between $200 and $250, which is far less than most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/rankings\/best-3d-scanner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"7655\">professional 3D scanners<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, Murobo has made considerable efforts to make sure that the Atlas DIY 3D scanner is convenient and simple to use. To achieve this, the Atlas comes with FreeLSS <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-software\/best-free-3d-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"7656\">free 3D software&nbsp;<\/a>which enables you to easily take 3D scans. In addition, you can access your Atlas via your computer&#8217;s browser through WiFi, as well as via SD card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, this DIY 3D scanner Raspberry Pi collaboration is a really interesting and creative way of combining several different innovative technologies to create a scanning device.

Then back in 2015, CowTech Engineering used the foundations led by BQ, putting their unique spin on an updated model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>True to the open source movement, Cowtech started a Kickstarter campaign to raise money to put their version of the original, the CowTech Ciclop, into production. The team set the lofty goal to raise $10,000, and were met with surprise when the community rallies to raise $183,000. The CowTech Ciclop DIY 3D scanner kit was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what are the differences between CowTech&#8217;s version and BQ&#8217;s DIY 3D scanner?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CowTech Ciclop still uses the Horus <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-software\/professional-3d-software-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"7658\">3D software program<\/a>&nbsp;as it does a fantastic shop for 3D scanning objects. Differences however include a slightly different design, which the team spent days designing so that the parts could be 3D printed on any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-printing-technologies\/fused-deposition-modeling-fdm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"7659\">FDM 3D printer<\/a>. Some desktop 3D printers only have a small build volume, so CowTech designed parts that can be printed on any printer with a build volume of 115 x 110 x 65 mm, which almost all 3D printers have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, CowTech&#8217;s Ciclop has adjustable laser holders, and whereas the BQ Ciclop uses threaded rods, CowTech&#8217;s DIY 3D scanner uses laser-cut acrylic. This isn&#8217;t anything drastic and the scanners still look fairly similar, but CowTech only intended to improve the existing design, not reform it. CowTech sell the Ciclop, ready-to-scan, for $159 on their website. Overall, this is a great cheap DIY 3D scanner, and very effective for laser triangulation 3D scanning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"openscan\">OpenScan Classic and OpenScan Mini<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Max Scan Volume<\/strong>: 180 x 180 x 180 mm \/ 80 x 80 x 80 mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accuracy<\/strong>: Up to 50 microns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>DIY 3D scanner technology<\/strong>: Photogrammetry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Price<\/strong>: Starting at $100.00 up to $200.00 for a complete kit with 3D printed parts and electronic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/OpenScan-DIY-Photogrammetry-scanner.jpg\" alt=\"openscan diy photogrammetry scanner with your iphone or dslr camera\" class=\"wp-image-2938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/OpenScan-DIY-Photogrammetry-scanner.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/OpenScan-DIY-Photogrammetry-scanner-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Use your DSLR digital camera or phone with the OpenScan scanner.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-28019b39 gb-container-3613bd9f\" id=\"pros-cons-pattern\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-0ca28b8c gb-grid-wrapper-dab919b5\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-5b21292d gb-grid-column-ce5dd51d\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-5b21292d gb-container-ce5dd51d\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-64ee055e gb-headline-text gb-headline-a7803bff\">Pros<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-4022919b 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\">The OpenScan classic is compatible with DSLR cameras and smartphones.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-5afe3aec 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 for a low price.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-69c6130e gb-grid-column-b97ad919\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-69c6130e gb-container-b97ad919\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-9d5a9d57 gb-headline-text gb-headline-a7803bff\">Cons<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-7d840707 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\">OpenScan Mini is tied to a Raspberry Pi and only works with either a Pi Camera or Arducam IMX 519<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.openscan.eu\/openscan-mini\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"7660\">Mini<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.openscan.eu\/scanner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"7661\">Classic<\/a> are two low-cost but high-quality 3D printed DIY scanner projects designed by German company OpenScan.

Since then, there have been numerous improvements made in new iterations up to the newest model, the FabScan Pi. This new model uses a Raspberry Pi camera along with the new design to offer higher quality 3D scans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on laser triangulation technology, the FabScan Pi is one of the best DIY 3D scanner options for those who are into doing it themselves. Depending on if you go for one of the older models or the latest, the price can vary between $100 and around $200 to completely create the 3D scanner. Overall, it&#8217;s a really cool kit and thesis which you can make at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to create your own FabScan, you can follow the assembly guide <a href=\"https:\/\/fabscanpi-server.readthedocs.io\/en\/latest\/steps_fabscanpi.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"7665\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>DIY Standalone 3D Scanner by Jun Takeda<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>DIY 3D scanner technology<\/strong>: Photogrammetry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> $200.00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DIY Standalone 3D Scanner\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pVKKVD_6zNk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instructables.com\/DIY-Standalone-3D-Scanner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"7666\">DIY Standalone 3D Scanner<\/a> is an excellent option for those that want a hands-on project that results in a reasonably accurate and easy-to-use stationary 3D scanner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By combining a Mbed board with a camera and OpenCV libraries, the scanning process is largely automated with just a single button push. The scanner captures multiple images of an object to create a 3D model that&#8217;s then output as an STL file written to an SD Card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To complete the project, you&#8217;ll need a GR-LYCHEE as a centerpiece sided by smaller electronic parts, plastic sheets to create the housing, and various nuts and wiring to piece it all together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name implies, it&#8217;s very much a DIY project and, as such, would best suit those happy to troubleshoot any potential hurdles with little hand-holding. Though there are instructions, you&#8217;re responsible for designing the housing, wiring the board, and calibrating the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Arduino-Controlled Photogrammetry 3D Scanner by Brian Brocken<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>D<strong>IY 3D scanner technology<\/strong>: Photogrammetry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> ~$100<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Arduino-3D-scanner-photogrammetry.jpeg\" alt=\"arduino controlled 3D scanner\" class=\"wp-image-16146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Arduino-3D-scanner-photogrammetry.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Arduino-3D-scanner-photogrammetry-300x150.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Arduino-3D-scanner-photogrammetry-768x384.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/hackaday.io\/project\/168301-arduino-controlled-photogrammetry-3d-scanner\" data-lasso-id=\"7667\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arduino-Controlled Photogrammetry 3D Scanner<\/a> is a 3D printable 3D scanner DIY project that leverages the camera on any run-of-the-mill Smartphone and a cheap Arduino UNO SBC to keep costs low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The core idea is to assemble a turntable consisting of 3D printed mechanical parts, including a print-in-place bearing. A Bluetooth-connected Smartphone does the actual scanning via the normal photogrammetry process. As for electronic components, you&#8217;ll need a servo motor, LCD screen, Arduino Uno, PCB, stepper motor, Bluetooth remote, regulator, and a small joystick module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once assembled, the Arduino-Controlled Photogrammetry 3D Scanner can capture anywhere from 2 to 200 photos in a single 360\u00b0 rotation for reasonably detailed scans. The images are then sent to photogrammetry software such as AutoDesk Recap Photo to assemble a 3D model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from the cost of filament, expect to pay no more than $100 for all the parts and the STL files to 3D print the turntable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2>Semi-assembled DIY scanners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>Revopoint POP \/ POP 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> $500-700 &#8212;

At around $500, the Revopoint POP is considerably pricier than a DIY scanner. Still, it may be worth paying the premium for the convenience and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Revopoint POP offers 0.3 mm accuracy (the POP 2 offers within 0.1 mm!) and automatic alignment technology, making for more detailed and smooth full-color 3D models than DIY scanners. It can capture 360\u00b0 scans of objects up to 200 x 300 x 300 mm, besting most DIY options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main benefit of all this is high accuracy scans that are just about ready for 3D printing with very little post-processing needed to iron out imperfections and poor surface details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Statue-mixed-mesh.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Statue-mixed-mesh.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Statue-mixed-mesh-300x150.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Statue-mixed-mesh-768x384.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A statue scan we did with our Revopoint POP 2.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ease of use also extends to the intuitive software, which works with Smartphones for on-the-go scanning and features exports to STL and OBJ formats. Alongside, it bundles in best-of both-worlds handheld and stationary modes. Five different scanning profiles allow you to tune the POP to each scan with face, body, feature, mark, and dark mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-6be25445\"><span
