http://www.switchandlever.com/storePro 3D Scanner Better Than Photogrammetry? (3DMakerPro Whale Review)Switch & Lever2022-12-13 | I have made two videos on photogrammetry already, but what about actual 3D scanners? Are they up to snuff? It's time to test out whether photogrammetry truly is the bee's knees, or if 3D scanners are worth it.
This video was made possible by 3DMakerPro and their Whale scanner. 3D Maker Pro sent me the scanner for review, but they made no requirements for what to say or how to test it, so I tried to put it through the paces best I could.
Make sure you check out Whale at the links below if you're interested in learning more:

It came to my attention in the discussion below that the controller board in this mill is counterfeit.
