![[ 2022 New Upgraded ] Creality Lizard 3D Scanner Premium Kit —0.05 MM Accuracy&10 FPS scan Speed 3D Scanner for 3D Printing & Modeling (with Portable Carrying Case,Turntable Asset, USB Cables)](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41yhv28Vq8L._AC_SR160,160_.jpg)
Well this scanner is amazing toy that comes with great software but that's about it - it just a toy.
If you wish to do some "reverse engineering" to be able to 3D print something, like miniatures and such , something more complex then simple cube and such .. well it's double but requires a lot of time investment both to do the scans (to really get all the details right I had to do 3-4 smallest step scans , each running like 12h) and in post processing.
Well as I said - the software is amazing, support too, but the device itself... it's not even for 3D printing enthusiasts, it's for "early adopters" , to people that can spend almost $800 on something that main thing that they can do with it is to say "wow it works !".
Well, I guess the main issue here is price , if it was $200 I would say, its ok, nice toy , I like it and give this scanner 4/5 but when you pay $800 (in my case including shipping and taxes almost $1000) you kind of expect more. Much more.
There is "an issue" with other, more fit for use scanners , like structural light scanners with turntable cost $1700+ so I guess the price tag on this one is fair but not justified.
Bottom line - if you need 3D scanner that does the job - get structural light 3D scanner that cost $2000+ , if you want to just "play" with it and see what this technology can offer to you and how it looks - you can get this one if you can allow yourself to throw away $800 for toy.
On the technical size - there is one small issue - when I scan I always get rings from turntable appear on the scan. It probably means that while my scanner "Sits" on the table one of the corners is higher then other so beams hit turntable surface and reflect from it.
I guess some "calibration" even manual, with "bubble level" tool or something like this in order. On the other hand this rings quite easy to clean out in software manually, it's just that it something I have to do each time, so it waists even more my time. I guess if software could detect this and remove automatically this could be an option too.
Btw: did I already mentioned that software is great and easy to use ? :)

The Matter and Form Team
Matter and Form Inc. was founded by designers and programmers who needed a high-resolution 3D scanner but couldn’t afford one; so they made their own. Their first product, the Matter and Form 3D Scanner, began shipping in 2014 and has since sold thousands of units worldwide. In 2015 Matter and Form launched bevelPix, an online platform to view, share, and process 3D content.
In 2018, Matter and Form launched the next generation of their 3D Scanner and scanning software - the Matter & Form 3D Scanner V2 & MFStudio +Quickscan.

Good price for the functionality.

This was my first entry into 3D scanning and I was skeptical. The Matter and Form *seemed* like a good choice, since it has good resolution and the price is better than the other options. I decided to take a chance and if I didn't like it I'd just return it.The software doesn't come in the box, you have to download it from their website. I don't have a CD drive in my computer anyway. I didn't know where the power button was on the scanner. It's the logo. Kind of different but OK...I was able to calibrate and to get a good scan of the toy duck it comes with, but the scan didn't have the top or bottom. So you have to scan your object a few times and combine the scans together. This was fairly easy to do in their software. Each scan only took a minute, cleaning up the little bit of noise in each scan took about a minute, then combining them was almost instant. I did spend about an hour playing with different ways to scan the duck before I really liked the combined results.I was able to mesh and get a nice STL file for my printer. They have a cloud service bevelpix to upload the scans as well. I haven't checked it out yet.I also scanned this sea shell because I wanted to test these 0.1mm claims. I did this one with "quickScan". My time scanning the duck paid off for the shell. I got the two scans I needed and this result (see picture) in 8 minutes.My conclusion: 5 stars. I like this machine. It works and it is accurate. I also enjoyed using it. The pictures are my duck scan and print and my sea shell original and scan.

Having no practical experience with 3D scanning, my initial scans had the contrast set wrong, had way too much light, and I didn't fully understand how much object placement and multiple scans could improve my results.
After looking around on the web quite a bit for answers I decided to contact Trevor at Matter and Form. I signed up for an hour long tutorial that is delivered via one of the video conferencing services. As luck would have it the other person that had signed up for that hour slot was a no show. Instead of giving their standard tutorial Trevor focused on what I was doing. I was able to share my desktop so he could see the scans I was running as they happened and he provided great advice on how to improve the results. It's been a very long time since I've had such a stellar customer service experience.
The image I've included is of one of my practice pieces and the mesh of the scanned object. This mesh is made from 6 aligned scans. For each scan this little anvil had a different orientation and placement relative to the center of the rotary table. This allowed me to capture all of the surfaces.
Fantastic customer service got me going

I bought this scanner to see if 3D scanning might help in developing CAD drawings of some antique musical instrument parts. I had no prior experience with 3D scanning, though I had read a number of articles and watched numerous videos on the technology so I knew about what to expect from this scanner.By Michael D.
