Here is a link with an error study on the nextengine scanner

Here is another link you might find interesting discussing other 
scanners and considerations for modeling

Dear friends,

Which is the best 3D laser scanner for small structures such as frog,
rodent and bat skulls? These are objects with complex surfaces and a
length range between 20-50 mm.

Let's say that cost is not a factor to be considered.

There are currently three options that I am considering:

1) David Laser Scanner

http://www.david-laserscanner.com/

2) NextEngine 3d Scanner

https://www.nextengine.com/

3) Immersion RSI 3D Laser for Microscribe MX digitizer (6 df)

http://www.microscan-3d.com/
http://www.3d-microscribe.com/MicroScan%20Page.htm

All models report their maximum resolution at standard conditions, but
I would like to know if anyone in the forum has experience working with
these contraptions on small-sized skulls for geometric morphometric
applications, or even smaller objects such as insects or other
invertebrates.

Thanks for the advice

Pablo
