3DMakerPro Moose 3D Scanner Review: Key Specs
Who is it for?
The Moose is ideal for anyone doing 3D printing, creating miniatures, or a hobbyist with an interest in 3D scanning.
Unboxing
The scanner is predominantly of metal construction, with the front and rear faces engineered from thick plastic. The quality of the materials means you won’t have any problems with damage from either light knocks or dropping it onto the floor from a tripod height.
Using the Scanner
The scanner is remarkably easy to use, with a simple single cable that is split into two parts; the data part and the power part. The fact that this cable tucks neatly into a recessed part of the scanner is especially nice.
Accuracy
The terminology surrounding the accuracy of 3D scanners is often a little confusing. Rather than one single accuracy setting, there are two main specifications that should be taken into consideration. The single-frame accuracy for the Moose is 0.03 mm, and the resolution is 0.07mm.
Textures
Equipped with a 24-bit color camera, the Moose produces a high level of accurate color replication. I generally opt for an alternative, higher resolution texture workflow, but I was pleasantly surprised by the on-board results.
Should I buy the 3DMakerPro Moose 3D Scanner?
The Moose 3D scanner is perfectly pitched towards entry-level professionals and serious hobbyists. It is selling for $699, which puts it at the same price as the Seal scanner. At a similar size and with better single-frame accuracy and resolution, I would expect most people to opt for the Seal. The only notable benefit of the Moose over the Seal is the introduction of AI-powered visual tracking that helps overcome issues that might be caused by poor scanning techniques.
