Received the scanner (the SE model) yesterday and already used it for a project. With only one day of practice I got acceptable results, so I'm satisfied. The software seems to be targeted to home users, as only a very few options are available. Overall the GUI looks like a beta version of a software from the nineties. Messages and windows popping up in the background instead of the foreground, it has a teamviewer option for whatever reason, it doesn't remember file pathes and the english translation is the chinese way. The cheaper SE model I bought is a bit unsteady because of the plastic parts but works.
However, under the hood it puts out good meshes, of course also depending on the preparation of the objects. Point cloud computations and meshing uses all cores most of the times. Even if an objects got a perfectly flat und dull surface, if it has different areas of brightness (read color) like a logo or letterings, these will come out as depth information. Only lightly but visible in the resulting scan. Since the idea of 3d scanning is not capturing perfectly smooth surfaces but uneven and complex surfaces, I would not consider it as a contra. Maybe this was also because of the cheap crayon spray I used which created tiny sprinkles on the surface . I will try developer spray and see how this works. Besides the poly formats, it can output point cloud data to be meshed later on. If you're interested, I uploaded an example of a scanned lemon. I used 3-5 scan runs I think, with 20 degrees/ 18 steps each. Meshed in high detail with 10 percent mesh density. Seems to me that the mesh resolution is always much higher than the average scan resolution you may achive with an average object. In other words you will hit the limits in scanning (due to bad preparation of the object or difficult objects) much earlier than what the meshing algorithm can put out. <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.imagefront.de_tmp_fruit-5Fhigh-5Fdetail-5F10-5Fpercent.fbx&d=DwIFaQ&c=76Q6Tcqc-t2x0ciWn7KFdCiqt6IQ7a_IF9uzNzd_2pA&r=GmX_32eCLYPFLJ529RohsPjjNVwo9P0jVMsrMw7PFsA&m=jwNeEyWuiKdmkO7Cwz5eFxz-Cja0Crbumhpwyp63Fc0&s=t9IJtLuJOSVQXNKJm9boagq1Ge9dSLx0CKmZvKX6kkk&e=> www.imagefront.de/tmp/fruit_high_detail_10_percent.fbx FBX would be nice but is not supported by the scanner. I used STL for direct import to XSI. Or OBJ if texture is needed.

Maybe these will not work very well, because I probably cannot flip a fancy cake upside down for a second scan run :) Also not every object will work with spray crayon. Currently I need a packaging that got crumpled aluminum foil on it. I could model it but a scan will surely help. Even the scan will not be perfect I can use parts of it, clean and model the rest by hand. I already ordered the scanner and will see how it works out.

Doesn't need to be top notch but should be a professional and good scanner so I think in the range of maybe 1 to 2k dollars/euros? I checked out a few from low budget (couple hundred bucks, disregarded them immediatly) to high budget (several thousands) and came up with this: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.einscan.com_einscan-2Dse-2Dsp&d=DwIFaQ&c=76Q6Tcqc-t2x0ciWn7KFdCiqt6IQ7a_IF9uzNzd_2pA&r=GmX_32eCLYPFLJ529RohsPjjNVwo9P0jVMsrMw7PFsA&m=jwNeEyWuiKdmkO7Cwz5eFxz-Cja0Crbumhpwyp63Fc0&s=JlEtI0RWBMh0_asYv9I3dekxdE3wMOIvlh1LlpQxi-c&e= Around 1.500 euros and a point distance of 0.09-0.12mm, what sounds good to me. I have no experience with 3D scanning though and maybe you guys have some hints or recommendations? Objects to scan will be no larger than maybe 30x30 cm, in most cases much smaller.
