YOUR 3D SCANNER GUIDE FOR CAR PARTS

When it comes to 3d scanning car parts, there’s tons of entry level options which significantly vary in price, so lets review…

💡 Pro Tip: 3D scanner accuracy is the measured distance between scanned points in millimeters. Lower mm = better scan.

We chose to go with the Creality Ferret Pro 3d scanner

The Ferret Pro also comes with a wireless bridge. This allows you to scan parts without the need to have the scanner directly connected to a PC or a laptop.

However, it does comes with a longer USB cable if you chose to go that route.

HOW IT WORKS

The CR-Scan Creality Ferret Pro has an infrared transmitter and a pair of infrared receivers to map out all the details of the part you scan.

It also has a 2MP color camera too. This allows the Ferret Pro to get very detailed scans as well as an image overlay of the scan.

💡 Pro Tip: For best scanning results use the included markers, this keeps your part aligned.

Once you scan your part you can export it as an STL to print, here’s our recommended 3d printers for car parts.

3D PRINTERS FOR CAR PARTS

• Elegoo Centauri Carbon ($300) → Budget pick

• Bambu Lab P1S ($600) → Best value, enclosed

• Bambu Lab H2S (~$1500) → Large volume for bigger parts

• ASA Filament → UV/Heat Resistant
