To choose the best 3D scanners we don't just consider technical information but also carefully consider what scenarios each 3D scanner could be used for. We judge each model on how useful it's likely to be in practice,  taking into account factors such as the size of objects it can scan, how long it takes to scan, how accurate the scans are, how portable it is, and what operating systems it's compatible with. Finally, we consider the price of the 3D scanners to select options that cover a range of budgets and requirements. We use our real-world experience of 3D scanners to determine a final selection of the best 3D scanners that we can recommend today.
