(Explained)"},"content":{"rendered":"

The lowest-cost 3D scanners start at around $150, though these are often DIY kits which require assembling or sometimes 3D printing some parts. Higher-quality handheld 3D scanners cost between $2,000 to $5,000, while professional 3D scanners for reverse engineering, professional design, and demanding 3D visualizations can cost up to $30,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a huge difference in pricing between 3D scanners, which is affected by factors including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Size and complexity of the object you want to scan<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The scanner type and technology<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. 3D scan quality (accuracy, resolution)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Time the project takes (for renting a 3D scanner)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The ability to 3D scan in color<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Shipping costs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Software and post-processing<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Fortunately, there are scanners for all budgets and applications, and we\u2019ll explain in more detail what specs and uses you can expect in each price range.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t
