A review that tells you which use-case each product is a good fit for is SO much better than the "this product is the best" videos! Awesome work.

I just scanned a 80x30x10mm small part with the Crealty Ferret. It needed some work and equipment: motorized turntable für about 15$, a simple stand I printed out, and dry shampoo because the scanned part is pitch black. The scanned did not get every single detail, but enough to build a quite perfect match. I am stunned how exact the size is. And it's also impressive that the "kids software" TinkerCAD I am using can handle such an amount of triangles.

this is how you make videos! well put together, easy to understand well done and keep it up!

Some of the phone scanners have come a long way as well. Polycam is worth a look (but it is subscription). I've done both full head and smaller models it works surprisingly well.

Thanks for the comparison! This isn't really a review but an explanation of something to consider when buying a scanner. I have a ferret and it definitely does not work for my small projects, but that's not what it was made for.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to make these videos.

I wouldn't have even known you are out of my, our, town, until I recognized the stone arch and searched you. Now I have to finish up your video because I am looking at both of these, or adding another printer so I can prototype on one and final print on the other.

Just a tip, I found myself in the situation of need/want a 3d Scanner, and even paid for an "Early release" that never did (thankfully no money was lost). But then found the greatest solution of them all... Photogrametry, I used RealityCapture, and found that I get all the detail that I want for any size of models (cars, toys, heck if you have a drone, or a huge pole with a camera attached, you could scan your whole block if you want). And they charge for the amount of data to process, so its a couple dollars a scan, and it even captures textures all in one go so no "lost track of the object", model too big for tiny processor to handle, my resolution is crap because so are my cameras, you need to coat them in $60 dollar spray otherwise ill get ansiety... Needless to say I will never need a scanner.

Nice video Paul! I will say that with the Ferret I have noticed scans and tracking end up a bit better when using RGB color capture. So even on the wood figure or the 928 you could give that a shot. You don't have to export the model with color but when you are scanning bigger things with it and having tracking issues try tossing the color on. Also some little bits of painters tape help with the tracking.

Cross section scanners are needed for full scanning ability surface and cross section. They have them that use x rays (radioactive careful) MR-I and ultrasound. Surface scans are a fraction of the capability for the systems.

Awesome video!!! Very informative on the abilities of both scanners.

Cual me recomiendas, el 3Dmakerpro seal o el recopointoni 2

If you're having issues with hair, you can throw some bleached flour into your hair, the white powder will add more contrast and help, likewise with scanning in general, a little white powder, or sometimes certain scanners make you use white dot stickers. I've got a printer, want a scanner, waiting for them to get good enough for cheap enough, I just don't have $15k to spend on a car body part scanner.

[Kruglord]

Hey! Very good summary, it was both concise and clear!

[GHOOGLEMALE]

Great review - I'm looking to buy the Ferret, but now not so sure as I wanted to use it for small parts mainly. Either way, really great review - love the presentation too

[HawkWorley]

I need a new dress form, and turning that into a mannequin would be interesting. I may have to look into this. Thank you.

[wgalloPT]

I have a few questions and maybe you could help. I want to buy a scanner, and my use would be to scan people body parts, hands, feet, trunk, maybe upper body. I am currently trying eyeballing the 3d makerpro mole and moose series and I wonder how come the mole is so much more expensive than the moose series...? For my intended use do you think they could work?

[layneyost]

Wondering if the Seal is Mac compatible. The Makerpro site says it is, but the JM Studio app is nowhere to be found on the Apple App store. Any insights?

[ausfoodgarden]

Have you had a chance to try the CR-Scan Otter? It seems to do a better job than the Ferret.
(I've only tried these 2 and for just a couple of hours each)
It would be great to get a good comparison of them. Cheers!
