3D scanners - Hands-on reviews, tests and ratings
We review 3D scanners on a regular basis in our testing lab. We believe hands-on 3D scanner reviews are valuable and allow us to share first-hand, unbiased experience with our readers.
Our reviews follow a strict test protocol designed to provide a fair benchmark to evaluate each product. We cover various aspects of the product experience, from unboxing and setting up the 3D scanner to evaluating the 3D scan quality and testing various features of the product, including the 3D scanning software. We score 3D scanners on a 5-point scale on each aspect to calculate the overall rating.
