Dual-laser, pre-calibrated stereo camera that can capture 3D images with

photometric imaging in as little as one tenth of a second

Captures detail down to 350 microns, or 0.25mm, and make the scan
available within 30 seconds

That type of accuracy makes it ideal for capturing human faces, fabric
textures, or natural elements such as flowers etc

Pros: Incredibly fast, Accurate, Simplistic

Cons: Diminished viewing angle will not permit entire 360 degree scans

technology
3D Scanner Price: $379
Video demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnOzzbl0Uqw

3D scanning of objects and people, 3D maps of interior spaces, and even

augmented reality experiences

Ideal for 3D scanning an entire room or relatively simple forms, however

not-so-ideal for capturing highly detailed objects if you intend to 3D print
them.

Pros: Price, Ease-of-use, Reliability
