Our Verdict

It's hard to find 3D scanners of the quality of the 3DMakerPro Moose 3D Scanner at its price. The single-frame accuracy and resolution are not as good as the Seal alternative, but it is still a more than capable piece of kit for those not too concerned with having the highest level of accuracy. The unit itself is well-built and comfortable to hold. Its lightweight construction and small form factor make moving around small and medium-sized objects easy. The AI visual tracking helps to ensure great results, but simply on specs, I would probably opt for either 3DMakerpro's Seal or Revopoint's Mini 2.

For

3DMakerPro has named their latest 3D scanner the Moose, following their tradition of naming their scanners after animals. The Moose is a portable and lightweight scanning solution that's perfect for entry-level users and hobbyists. Although it has slightly lower single-frame accuracy and resolution compared to the Seal scanner, it's still an excellent choice for those who are looking for an easy-to-use scanner. 

Setting up the Moose is a breeze, and everything you need to get started is included in the package. The JMStudio software is available for download on both PC and Mac from the 3DMakerPro website. Thanks to its AI tracking algorithms, the Moose prevents frame loss during the scan, ensuring highly accurate results with excellent resolution.
