3DMakerpro Seal 3D Scanner Review

Reviewing 3DMakerpro's Seal 3D scanner. I have mixed feelings about 3D scanners in general, but this one works relatively well. Let me know if you want an in-depth guide on how to get the best results from 3D scanners like this!

honest and detailed thank you

[@networkg]

Excellent review.

[@serialhobbyism_official]

Thanks!

if you want to see a carbon copy, you would have to look at the 3dmakerpro Mole. its essentially the creality lizard hardware wise.

[@serialhobbyism_official]

Good to know! I wonder if one company is designing/manufacturing these and selling them to other companies? Or all they all just buying components from the same suppliers?

[@swfreeD]

@@serialhobbyism_official i guess its some sort of white label oem selling licenses so these companies can slap their name and design onto the products. creality cheaped out on the matching software it seems and blatantly stole core code elements from artec´s software in the beginning, and artec argued the used structured light method creality had in their scanner was lifted of their scanners as well, which ended in a juicy artec vs creality patent infringement lawsuit.

Cual me recomendarias para escanear objetos pequeños, estoy entre el 3dmakerpro seal y el recopint mini 2 o alguna otra marca que recomiendes por favor

[@shepalderson]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience here. I've been thinking about getting a 3D scanner sometime soon, but they all seem either not quite ready for prime time or they are wildly expensive.

[@serialhobbyism_official]

Yeah, I can't speak to the practicality of the higher-end models, but these mid-range consumer models can be pretty frustrating to use. As an example, I needed to recreate the back cover for a Kindle. I spend probably 10+ hours and 100+ scans trying to get a usable result before I gave up and just modeled it from scratch in CAD.

Hi great video, I come from a CNC background and would love to see an accuracy test to see if the seal pro lives up to the 0.01 mm claim

[@serialhobbyism_official]

My background is in CNC, too. The 0.01mm claim is unrealistic. Maybe 0.01mm precision, but definitely not accuracy. For example, you could scan a perfectly flat inspection table and your model would show visible variation in the surface. I would not recommend this for anything where accuracy matters at all, unfortunately.

Thanks for the reply 😊

i just bought seal lite
it was discounted to 359
for me the color isnt important but, the blue light allegedly better
for its price a real affordable solition
later might add the lynx
for larger objects and for human figures
i was wishing for nextengine laserscanner, but today im glad i couldnt afford

[@rapidnetrick]

@serialhobbyism_official Wow, that's quite an old CPU for software! It doesn't meet the requirements of the hardware / software....
You have a 3rd gen ( Intel i7-3700k ) , requirements i5 8th gen or better!!
Minimum computer requirements: Intel Core i5 8th, 16GB RAM MX250 GPU with 2GB VRAM
Recommended computer requirements: Intel Core i7 8th, 16GB RAMNVDIA 3060 GPU with 4GB VRAM

[@serialhobbyism_official]

That was a typo, my bad! It's a i7-13700k (not 3700k), which is 13th gen.
