Which first scanner earns its bench space?

Begin with the constraint that cannot move: the part, the workspace, or the CAD deliverable. The tests below rank what matters after that choice.

Ranked evidence will appear as bench tests are published.

Method / Repeat before ranking

Each scanner repeats the same calibration, reference object, capture distance, and CAD cleanup path. A result enters the ranking only after the workflow can be reproduced.

01 / Prepare

Will the scanner fit the work you already do?

Check the bench, the parts, and the handling space before comparing resolution figures.

02 / Capture

Can a first scan become a repeatable scan?

Follow calibration and capture in short stages, then isolate tracking errors before changing hardware.

03 / Deliver

What survives the handoff from mesh to CAD?

Measure cleanup time and useful geometry, not just the size of the exported file.
