The 3DMakerPro Lynx 3D scanner starts at $369 and brings high-resolution 3D scanning to a low price point. The Lynx is capable of being used in both handheld as well as turntable mode, both of which worked well during testing. 3D scanning can sometimes be difficult for beginners due to the complexity of the process involved, but 3DMakerPro has created a linear workflow using the JMStudio software app that will help first-time users successfully create 3D models.
During testing, the Lynx had issues scanning facial hair and hair, which may be a problem for users interested in using the scanner for scanning people. The JMStudio software app worked well for capturing point cloud data, aligning and cleaning, and making watertight mesh models that can be used for 3D printing. While many 3D scanners in this price range suffer from difficult-to-use software that is poorly documented and performs inconsistently, 3DMakerPro has put time and effort into the documentation of the JMStudio app which will help to reduce the learning curve of the Lynx for first time users.
