Comparison between final 3D models
SOL and SOL PRO 3D scanners may look similar, and both have built-in automation that lets the hardware and software do a lot of the tedious work for you.
However, due to a variety of differences in cameras, lasers, firmware and software the two scanners act and result differently. Start with viewing and comparing the scanning results below and see also a comparison between the specs below.
