[Sense 2 3D scanner]

I have one. It is not bad. Not great. It is a good value. I would say it depends on the size of your scan target and the detail needed.

Just know that in my research, I found that to get an appreciable amount of difference in quality required a jump in price of more than 5 times the cost. That was a year ago, and tech does evolve. To get a real difference, you are looking at a starting investment of about 9K USD. That would be the Artec Evo Light.

Also know that the scanner has trouble with scanning anything below a certain darkness. Tried scanning some of my students and those with very dark hair, it would not pick up at all. And you also need to have good, ambient illumination.

I have output to Cura and made prints and that was painless and it captures in a 1:1 scale ratio. But color scans are limited to the lower resolution it has in capturing the texture maps to be applied. But, not an issue if you are scanning for modeling only.

So, scan resolution and ability to scan dark colors are the biggest thing you have to overcome.

But, for what my goals are, I am happy with it and can always paint or powder a surface to overcome the dark color scan issue.

By Artec Evo Light you mean https://www.artec3d.com/ru/3d-scanner/artec-eva-lite ? Did you buy it? I would be very grateful if you would share your personal impressions of the use this baby, cause i'm thinking of buying it too

[Beware of buying a Fuel3D scanner. Major price hike on necessary software]

I'm using Artec Studio , a bit expensive but worth paying for (that's just my opinion). You can try trial version for 30 days or FARO software ( Scene is for FARO scanners only if i'm not mistaken, free version Scenect is not for professional work ).

Wow! As SW fan i'm just impressed.

[What is the best software to design 3D, other than Solidworks?]

Well, I used TinkerCAD, Rhino3D and 123D, but there are many more. For begginers I can advise Tinker or CubeTeam, but someone may tell you different sofware, it's just a matter of preference.
