WHAT IS THE BEST HANDHELD 3D SCANNER ON THE MARKET?

There are hundreds of 3D scanners available on the market, from desktop 3D scanners to advanced metrology systems. However, handheld 3D scanners are gaining popularity in this fast-growing market. They offer various benefits in comparison with other types of 3D scanners:

• Ability to access hard-to-reach places
• Relative ease of use
• Portability

Today, many portable 3D scanners are available on the market. From** affordable handheld 3D scanners** to advanced, industrial-grade portable 3D scanners, the market caters to almost every need.

Our goal is to cut through the clutter and showcase the best handheld 3D scanners currently on the market. This “best handheld 3D scanner” selection is based on a combination of our own experience and feedback from our partners.

BEST HANDHELD SCANNERS AND PORTABLE 3D SCANNERS IN 2020

Type of 3D scanned object

Dimensions and distance of the object (scan area and scanning range)

The recommended 3D scanner will change depending on the dimensions and the distance of the object to be 3D scanned. A desktop 3D scanner can’t 3D scan a 2-meter-tall statue, and a handheld 3D scanner might not be the best option to 3D scan a very small and precise piece.

Surface of the object

Not every 3D scanner is able to capture the attributes of an object’s surface, such as color and texture. It can also be challenging to capture objects with black, shiny, or reflective surfaces.

Desired resolution

Not all 3D scanners offer the same level of resolution. Therefore, depending the quality you need, some 3D scanner models are more adapted than others. High resolution is required for reverse engineering。
