Overview
Not a printer, despite the printer fields in the spec list, this is a portable 3D scanner that projects structured infrared light to capture shape and color. The user holds it and moves around the object, and a USB cable links it to a computer.
Handheld scanning with color capture opens up objects that do not fit on a turntable. The data gap is large, with no accuracy figure beyond resolution, no scan range and no software requirements.
Who it's for
Hobbyists and small studios scanning objects by moving the device around them. Professionals who need published accuracy, range and software compatibility should ask the seller for them.
Pros and cons
- Handheld and portable
- Structured light method
- Scan range unstated
- Software requirements unstated
- Spec list holds printer data errors
Performance notes
A structured light scanner projects a known pattern and reads its distortion, so object surface and lighting influence the result. Slow, steady movement helps, though the listing gives no tracking or accuracy details.
