Will this 'scan off reveal the BEST sub $1,000 USD 3D scanners? That's our goal, and with over $3,000 USD invested in this, it better help you out, or Connor here is getting fired

You might have had a tinker using a 3D scanning smartphone app or simply seen the amazing ways others are leveraging such tools, but beyond sales videos and rose-tinted-wearing Reddit posters, it can be hard to find unbiased information on what scanners are really worth your hard-earned money.

In this quick comparison, CAD professional and Practical 3D Scanning course tutor Connor tests 4 budget 3D scanners, all costing $1000 or less, to see how much of a difference a few $100 dollars really makes and to see if you really do get what you pay for in the quickly evolving 3D scanning space.

Rather than spending countless hours in a en-w vs nz-w perfect 'lab' environment trying to replicate claimed accuracy specifications and performance, we're going to use 2 examples based on what you might be doing in your own home workshop.

The first test is scanning a billet SR20 engine block which is on the larger side of car parts you might scan in your home workshop, but it's also very commonly done as engine placement in a CAD model influences so many other components.

The second test is a scan of a car body panel on our FD RX7, again a common use case for a 3D scanner in your garage.

Using Geomagic Design X software the accuracy of the engine block scans are compared to see what scanners came out on top in 'real world' settings and use cases. A quick bonus comparison to a more expensive Peel 3 scanner is also mentioned just to give some perspective on how good these 'budget' scanners really are for the money!
