Seal Lite Handheld 3D Scanner for 3D Printer, 0.02mm High Detailed Precision, 10FPS Scanning Lightning-Fast Speed with Anti-Shake Lenses, 3D Model Scanner for Windows/MacOS - Premium Kit

The media could not be loaded. The Seal Lite scanner is a true game-changer in the world of prototyping and design workflows. Opting to challenge its capabilities, I selected a relatively large item that pushed the boundaries of the Seal Lite's scanning envelope. Remarkably, it flawlessly captured the details of an engine intake manifold, enabling me to effortlessly generate a digital model with precise geometry. In a surprisingly small package, the Seal Lite packs a punch with its formidable scanning power.Considering its impressive performance and the reasonable cost, this tool is hard to overlook. I highly recommend the Seal Lite to anyone looking to venture into 3D scanning. It stands as a compelling choice for those starting their journey in this exciting field.

Very low quality product. Does not make a clean model.

Update: The scanner was sent with a bad cable. After having to go thru some time consuming troubleshooting with the company, the cable turned out to be defective and they sent me a new one.Since then, the scanner has been working very well and the software is also great. Overall happy with the purchase. Save your money and skip the turntable and tripod. You'll get better scans without them in my opinion.No matter how many times I try, it just says ""The scanner failed to connect,please reconnect the device!"I installed/uninstalled/reinstalled the software 3 times, even turning off the antivirus.I tried using different USB ports and different computers. The customer support telephone number just rings, nobody picks up.

The mobile app has to be sideloaded because it's too sketchy to be on the official store. The PC app requires administrator access every time it starts. I had to open the camera view in the Windows Camera app because it was constantly dark when I used the JMStudio app alone. Aside from these scanner ecosystem issues, in the hardware I received, the camera that is supposed to capture the color is black and white and glitches every other time the scanner is restarted. I can solve the glitching by resetting, but it remains black and white across devices.Overall this is a terrible bit of tech and you would be better off using a free photogrammetry app.

The scanner works great. The software takes a bit to get it right but it just takes time to tweak the settings for the best results

The software that came with the scanner did not want to work right. Not easy to deal with.

The scanner seems fairly sophisticated and could be very capable of scanning objects around 5" in diameter and height. The instructions for how to position for scanningz such as height and angle are not clear and when to rotate the table is not clear in the instructions. It was also unclear if ambient/external lighting would help or hinder the scan. Better instructions on how to use the scanner would be beneficial.The turntable is simple but reliable. It spins at a fixed rate, but seems to be perfect for the 3DMakerpro Seal to capture the various angles of the subject. the power is supplied via a USB Micro-B cable and only requires USB 2.0 power standard 5V at 0.9A, so you can use almost any USB port to power it.The included tripod/handle is robust, versatile,and well built. It allows for decent height adjustment in order to get above angles and straight on angles regardless of the surface you place your subject on.JMStudio software is very user friendly, easy to install and easy to operate. Maybe a bit more tailoring to the particular scanner hardware physical instructions.

We live in a world of instant everything and I guess my expectation was for something much quicker in terms of a scanner. While the hardware is excellent and results can be excellent it is everything the manufacturer indicates. Their is however a learning curve as well as common sense for getting the best results from the unit. Lighting makes a difference so the location of your scan does have a bearing on results. Additionally setting up the object and the camera makes a good deal of difference which leads to multiple scans in different possess (if you will) to get a good scan of a complex objects. It is fast and uses a blue light to show you where your scan is taking place. While this can be used handheld I prefer the tripod and the platform for my scan needs. While the unit can scan in the dark I did not see a need to do so once having set up my image to scan. The unit itself is lightweight and has optical stabilization as well as some electronic stabilization which helps give better data points to your computer. The scanning process is not as fast as one might believe (this is my first 3D scanner ) and so having a good strong foundation for the camera does help with post processing and errors (which is why having a lightweight camera with optical shake correction is so important). Additionally a robust computer and graphics card helps with processing and processing times. I used this on my older windows 10 computer (about 6 years old) and my newer Windows 11 with high end graphics card and it has become clear to me that the large amount of data this generates and the processing needed to put these together correct them etc. does require a relatively new computer (as regards hardware and processing) to get faster results and be able to make changes to scans. The scanner itself seems good at picking up details and once you get a hang of it can give you great service. Cables seem a little short for my liking and the software needs to be improved upon so that the curve is not as steep as what I experienced (my first 3d Scanner) but does work and gives surprisingly good results given all the data points. I think for parts and small objects this is great, I would like to be able to scan faces etc. but think that this is perhaps a big bite to take given my limited experience but I do believe it can do quite a bit more then I am using it for currently. I think price and value are in line with other units out there and so given the materials and programming think this is a good value to its intended use and would not be afraid to recommend it. Hopefully software developments will make this both easier and more useful then its current offering. Just make sure you allow a good amount of time to experiment and light items before scanning.
