These are nice reviews,

But you might want to adjust the Einscan-S info, on the turntable you can’t scan higher then 17.5cm, and not the 20cm they advertise,

the width is also not 20cm, but I did not have time to exactly measure.

Also your test Auto-scan with the white sneaker you argue about it not filling certain top part in the final render, but you forgot that it is possible to put the object in another position, and do a “Continue scan”, and it will combine the two auto scans as one.

And I miss a little bit better explanation why glossy and matt parts, and also light and darker objects can have a different effect on the result.

Then they would know the difference between scanning mechanics.

Thanks!

You’re right about the max. scanning height. I did notice that and wrote something about it in the part about scanning the Google Cardboard VR Viewer, but I’ve now added an extra bit under the failed doll-on-hore-scan to make that issue more clear.

I didn’t know about procedure about continuing the scan. They should have made a better manual to point that out.

There is a big Continue button on the screen next to the Complete button :slight_smile:

I would strongly prefer the Einscan Pro as it is a new one, particularly at this price level. The Artec Eva is around for quite a while.

10

I’m pretty certain I can get my hands on one of those. I’m trying to figure out when.

11

Looking forward to your reviews!

I (partially / limited) tested the Davis SLS 3 scanner a while ago.

13

David Structure Light Sensor Scanner (SLS Scanner). I would like to see if you think it is worth the investment.

14

In your reviews, would you mind also explaining how easy to use the software is (or isn’t), how fast it processes scans, ease of merging multiple scans, any kind of prep work you have to do (applying reflectors/powder/etc.)? I think a lot of the end-result depends on the software being used.

The new Artec Studio 11 software seems pretty awesome and easy to use. Creaform’s isn’t bad either. Both scanners are far from cheap though.

15

I would like a review on the Bq Ciclop 3D scanner. It is a very affordable scanner for small budget customers.

16

If you can, see if you can get your hands on the VERY budget minded DaVinci XYZprinting Handheld scanner. I’m curious what kind of quality a scanner under $200 (USD) can give.

I try to write as much about the software as possible.

I’m going to test the Artec EVA with Studio 11 within a few months. But for that price you may expect the software to be good :slight_smile:

18

Didn’t know that one. Only seems to be available in France?

However I do want to test scanners that can also capture color, not just geometry, because I’m writing for an audience thats broader than FDM 3D Printing.

19

I’ve requested one to review, but no answer yet. It’s basically an Intel RealSense, so I’m curious to what software they include to make the scanning process as friendly as the price.

20

I’ve requested a review model of the SLS-3 with TT-1 Turntable. No reply yet, hopefully soon. Pity it can’t capture color.

21

The best way to know what I’m currently testing is to Follow me on Instagram, by the way.

I have the Artec EVA and as11 is great especially with the autopilot. Scanning large textured areas can be tricky but after a while you get used to it and know what to do. I have focused on large objects like full cars but you need to know what ypu are doing as files can run upto 26gb to process. Every scanner has its limitations. A good review would be the Artec spider and the einscan pro…I am looking for a handheld scanner that can scan with an accuracy of o.o5mm. The einscan pro is around 60 000rands and the spider around 300 000 rands… Would really appreciate a comparison between these two. I have tried using the autodesk memento but did not receive good results at all on a part I was trying to have scanned. The reviews on memento are brilliant but I don’t belive the program is designed to scan engineering components. Another area to look into is photogrammetry. It’s alot work but would not cost that much…

23

einscan-pro, it’s a very interesting product, could be interesting also to check “scan in a box”

24

I’ll receive an Einscan Pro within a few weeks! I’ll take a look at the Scan in a Box this week at the Additive Manufacturing Europe trade show.

Excellent! I can’t wait to see the results, especially from the software: ease of cleaning / stitching etc. The scanresults themselves I already saw some examples which look good (for professional purposes). Of course it is, as often, as well a question of price/performance ratio.
