If you want to scan large objects, such as vehicle body parts, or even architectural items, then you’re going to need a scanner capable of scanning larger areas. Having the ability to scan a large area in a single frame makes short work of larger objects.

In this article, we’ll be looking at a collection of scanners capable of scanning items up to several meters in size.

Quick jump to:

  • Creality
  • 3DMakerPro
  • Einstar
  • RevoPoint

Creality

Creality CR-Scan Otter

With its precision up to 0.02mm, the CR-Scan Otter excels in detailed 3D scanning across a wide range of object sizes, leveraging a dual lens setup. It simplifies scanning of traditionally challenging materials, such as black or metallic items, without the need for additional sprays.
