What 3d scanner should i choose?
Hello all :) So I have a little problem.We cannot afford to buy a new 3D scanner for our small business, but we can get access to used https://www.artec3d.com/3d-scanner/artec-eva (two years old) or Flashforge FFG-OB1 (1 year) in near future. Prices for both about the same, but we are afraid that scanners used and without warranty. What is the average lifespan of a 3D scanners? Don't want to waste money... Has anyone had experience with these scanners?

All depends on your needs.
For what kind of buiseness are you going to use 3D-scanner?
If you are going to make small figures of people - Artec EVA will be best choice (I have some expirience with that device). And don't forget to buy it's own firmware. It can be a few expencive, but it's worth the money.
Unfortunatelly, EVA doesn't fit to scanning small object with a good quality. For that purporses I recommend you to buy structured-light scanner, like Rangevision Premium, for an example. Easy in use (but hard to first time calibrate), high-precision (up to 20 microns), and reliable.
