Until recently, 3D scanners were mainly used for industrial applications but as 3D printing has become more common, especially for makers and hobbyists, the demand for scanning devices that can transform real objects into 3D printable models has grown \u2013 and driven prices down. So what\u2019s the most popular, affordable, 3D scanning hardware and software? Read on to discover our top 20 3D scanning solutions!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trying to rank the best 3D scanning solutions isn\u2019t simple.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Firstly, 3D scanning is a broad term. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve included all kinds of devices in this list \u2013 from free smartphone apps to desktop 3D scanners<\/li>\n<li>Secondly, it is very difficult to compare the quality of the 3D scans. Some scanning devices perform better or worse from certain angles, in certain lighting, or from certain distances (both from the object you want to scan, and from the background)<\/li>\n<li>Thirdly, prices differ so much. It\u2019s hard to compare the quality of a USD 200 3D scanner to a scanner that costs 30 or even 100 times as much<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s why rather than testing the <strong>quality<\/strong> of the 3D scanning solutions, we decided to rank them in terms of <strong>popularity<\/strong> within the 3D printing community. Since we focus on hobbyists, makers and entrepreneurs, we also limited this list to 3D scanning solutions that <strong>cost<\/strong> a maximum of USD 3000 \u2013 with most of the items actually in the USD 0 \u2013 USD 750 price range.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How we determined the most popular 3D scanning hardware and software<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In order to determine the popularity of the 3D scanner or 3D scanning software, we took a look at <strong>five metrics<\/strong> that can be measured quantitatively.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Social Media Score: <\/strong>The first factor that we took into account is the overall popularity of the 3D scanner on social networks. This includes the number of fans, followers, and mentions on social media<\/li>\n<li><strong>Page Score: <\/strong>This score predicts how well a specific 3D scanning hardware\/software page ranks on search engines and includes various sub-variables (for example link counts). Basically it shows how popular a page is on the web<\/li>\n<li><strong>3D Printing Forum Score: <\/strong>We calculated how often the 3D scanner is mentioned in leading 3D printing forums and boards, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/3dprintboard.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3D Print Board<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dhubs.com\/talk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3D Hubs talk<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>YouTube Score: <\/strong>This number shows how often the 3D scanner is tagged in videos on YouTube. It includes mentions such as \u201c3D scanning with XY\u201d or \u201cXY 3D scanning tutorial\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Google Score: <\/strong>This number shows how often the 3D scanner is mentioned in the context of 3D printing on Google. So this score is all about the quantity of relevant content out there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We\u2019ve already covered this but it\u2019s probably worth mentioning it again: this evaluation is not about how <em>good<\/em> the 3D scanning solution is. It\u2019s simply about calculating its popularity. An outstanding 3D scanner with a high price and a niche focus will have a harder time scoring well than a free app that can be downloaded by anyone. Therefore this list is all about the sheer numbers and does not make any statements about the quality of the 3D scanners.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-23066 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/i.materialise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/20-best-3d-scanners-709x1024.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 99vw, 709px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.materialise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/20-best-3d-scanners-709x1024.png 709w, https:\/\/i.materialise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/20-best-3d-scanners-208x300.png 208w, https:\/\/i.materialise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/20-best-3d-scanners-768x1109.png 768w, https:\/\/i.materialise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/20-best-3d-scanners-400x577.png 400w, https:\/\/i.materialise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/20-best-3d-scanners.png 780w\" alt=\"20-best-3d-scanners\" width=\"709\" height=\"1024\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/i.materialise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/20-best-3d-scanners-709x1024.png\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/i.materialise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/20-best-3d-scanners-709x1024.png 709w, https:\/\/i.materialise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/20-best-3d-scanners-208x300.png 208w, https:\/\/i.materialise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/20-best-3d-scanners-768x1109.png 768w, https:\/\/i.materialise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/20-best-3d-scanners-400x577.png 400w, https:\/\/i.materialise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/20-best-3d-scanners.png 780w\" data-was-processed=\"true\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Structure Sensor tops the list<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/structure.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Structure Sensor<\/a> seems to be the most popular 3D scanning device currently out there.

Keep in mind, however, that a non-mobile device like the Da Vinci AiO is limited in terms of the maximum 3D scanning size. The same is true for the <a href=\"https:\/\/store.makerbot.com\/digitizer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MakerBot Digitizer<\/a> (rank 5) which allows for a rotating scanning area of 20 cm x 20 cm and comes at a price of USD 799.<\/p>\n<p>Next in line is a 3D printing solution from Microsoft (rank 6).

This handheld device has one of the fastest reacting sensors of the entire list but works differently than the other mobile devices we have seen so far. Rather than rotating around an object, the Fuel 3D Scanify takes a \u20183D photo\u2019 from one side of an object.
