Creality sermoon s1 3d scanner review

The Sermoon S1 from Creality is a reliable and smart alternative to rulers and vernier calipers. Granted, for simple objects, a caliper or ruler will be faster, but for everything else, the Sermoon S1 wins. Especially when it comes to reverse engineering. It is highly accurate for pretty much any use case considering we only noticed inaccuracies of under 0.4 mm, in certain cases, and under 0.1 mm in most others. Not as accurate as Creality’s claims but still accurate enough. So, for anything other than certain industrial applications, the Sermoon S1 is a great fit. And, when paired with a 3D printer, a 3D scanner such as this can be a very handy tool for at home fabrication and reverse engineering. The Creality Scan 4 software is quite user friendly as well. It has explanations for most of the settings so first-time users will be able to pick it up easily. Other than the USB detection issue and some trailing when IR scanning, which Creality told us can be negated by turning on the 'Exclude Flat Base' option, the Sermoon S1 and Creality Scan 4 work as intended.
