Hi everyone,

My advisor is interested in purchasing a handheld 3D surface scanner to digitize specimens while traveling. I haven't seen or worked with handheld scanners before, so I was wondering if any of you have. I quickly looked up some models online and found Go!Scan3D <http://www.creaform3d.com/en/metrology-solutions/handheld-portable-3d-scanner-goscan-3d> and ZScanner 800 <http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CFgQFjAC&url="">>. Does anyone have experience using any of these or similar devices? Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Best,
Aki
