MINI and POP 2 target different 3D scanning requirements: Application Scenarios: POP 2 meets most requirements of makers, DIY lovers, 3D modelers of AR/VR content, and designers. MINI is more for professional applications like reverse engineering, quality control, 3D measurements, jewelry design, healthcare applications, and more.  Recommend Scan Volume:  MINI: 10 x10 x10 (mm) ~ 500 x 500 x 500 (mm).  POP 2: 20 x 20 x 20 (mm) ~ 3 x 3 x 3 (m). * You can scan larger objects, but it needs multiple scans and post-process, requiring a high-end computer and advanced scanning skills. Light Source: the MINI uses blue light, requiring an indoor scanning environment to ensure precision. If you are looking for a face/body modeling solution, we recommend you choose POP 2
