The Creality Sermoon S1 is a handheld 3D scanner, and initial impressions of the quality and design are good. The scanner arrives in a hard carry case, which instantly reinforces the pro rather than enthusiast design. Inside, the scanner and all the accessories are neatly organised, and the glass calibration plate is tucked into a pocket in the lid section, along with two sets of different-sized marker sheets.
The scanner’s size and build quality make it extremely portable, especially with that hard case for transport. As I got started, connecting up the scanner with the Y-cable that provides both power and the data connection to the computer, I started to get why there’s a wireless option available for an additional cost. That cable is a little annoying during setup and in use.
