The Creality Sermoon P1 is a handheld, standalone 3D scanner that packs a long list of features in a single enclosure that can comfortably fit in your hands. Blue laser scanning allows for high-resolution captures using either a 22, 7, or single laser mode, and the NIR (near-infrared) mode can capture geometry with no markers in a variety of lighting conditions. The bright 6-inch LCD screen allows users to align, edit, and mesh 3D scans right on the device, with no computer required. At $3,129 for the complete bundle, the Sermoon P1 is more expensive than most consumer 3D scanners, but the impressive results will help justify the cost for professional users.
The Sermoon P1 excelled at creating detailed 3D models during testing and performed impressively when scanning indoors, outdoors, both with and without tracking markers. Complete 3D scans can be captured, edited, and even shared directly from the device, while maintaining high scan quality. For users who want more control, the CrealityScan app allows for precision editing on a Windows or macOS machine.
