There’s a number of options and I was a bit overwhelmed, is there a comprehensive write up, copypasta, or something of the like?

    I would like to get one for our club but I can’t understand the wide variety of prices. $150 ? $500 ? $2000 ? $10000 ? $75000!! ? What’s the cheapest that is not a pain to use ?

      Have access to a quarter million dollar scanner from about 15 years ago. It still beats the pants off anything cheaper than 8 grand these days.

      You pay for software that can handle millions of points, hardware that can stream a lot of points to the pc. A wide dynamic range to scan, nice matte white, chrome or dark black objects. And raw precision to cast and track very fine details
