3DMakerpro Turtle – Modular 3D Scanner

Modular Handheld 3D Scanner 3DMakerpro Turtle One scanner body, three swappable optical modules. Change what you scan without changing your scanner — from 0.01 mm jewellery detail to 2-metre vehicle panels. Most 3D scanners force a permanent decision: buy for fine detail and you cannot capture large objects; buy for range and you lose the precision that makes small work usable. The Turtle removes that decision. A single host body accepts three interchangeable optical modules, so the same scanner covers jewellery, mechanical parts and furniture. Add capability when the work demands it, rather than buying a second machine. 0.01 mmAccuracy (S module) 2.3 MPSensor 30 fpsPC-connected 10 – 2000 mmObject range 6.4″ 2KTouchscreen (Control Pad) Three modules, one scanner Each module carries its own optics and projector, matched to a size class.

What sets it apart 🔁 Swappable optics Buy the body once. Add S, M or L modules as the work changes, instead of replacing the whole scanner when your projects outgrow it. 🔍 0.01 mm on the S module Fine enough for jewellery masters and dental models — the range where accuracy stops being cosmetic and starts determining whether a part fits. 📷 2.3 MP sensor 76% more pixels than the previous generation, which shows in edge definition and in how much of a surface each pass resolves. 📱 Standalone with Control Pad A 6.4-inch 2K touchscreen with on-device processing. Scan away from the bench with no laptop tethered to the scanner. ⚡ Up to 30 fps Faster capture means fewer alignment failures on handheld passes, and less time spent rescanning what moved. 🖥️ Free scanning software The capture and processing software is included. Geomagic Wrap is available separately for advanced mesh and reverse-engineering work. Choosing your configuration Two decisions: which module or modules match the objects you scan, and whether you want the Control Pad for untethered work. Module only — the scanner runs PC-connected at 30 fps. The right starting point if you scan at a bench with a laptop nearby. Control Pad — adds the 6.4-inch 2K touchscreen and on-device processing for standalone scanning. Useful on site, in a workshop, or anywhere trailing a laptop is impractical. Multi-module bundles — the economical route if you already know you work across size classes. Buying two or three modules together costs considerably less than adding them individually later. Who it's for Jewellery — capture an existing piece at 0.01 mm, then print a casting master on a resin printer Dental and orthotic labs — scan models and impressions where dimensional accuracy is functional, not decorative Reverse engineering — recreate discontinued or undocumented parts as printable CAD Product design and prototyping — digitise a physical form as the starting point for a design iteration Heritage, art and restoration — record objects that cannot be dismantled or measured by hand Automotive and furniture — with the L module, panels and assemblies up to 2 metres Pairs well with your printer A scanner and a printer complete a loop: capture a physical object, refine it, and produce a new one. For fine work the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K resolves at 14 × 19 µm — a sensible match for the S module's 0.01 mm accuracy on jewellery and dental work. For larger scanned parts, an FDM machine or the Jupiter 2 handles the volume. Questions about the Turtle Which module should I choose? Match it to what you scan most. The S module resolves 0.01 mm accuracy over a 160 × 120 mm capture area for objects roughly 10–300 mm — jewellery, dental models, small precision parts. The M module is the general-purpose choice at 0.03 mm for objects 15–1500 mm. The L module trades accuracy for reach: 0.05 mm over a 600 × 450 mm capture area for objects up to 2 metres. If you are unsure, most people start with M. Can I add another module later? Yes — that is the point of the design. The host body accepts any of the three modules, so you can start with one and add others as your work changes. Buying modules together in a bundle costs less than adding them individually afterwards, so if you already know you work across size classes it is worth doing at the outset. Do I need the Control Pad? Not to use the scanner. Without it the Turtle runs PC-connected at 30 fps, which is the faster mode and suits bench work. The Control Pad adds a 6.4-inch 2K touchscreen and on-device processing so you can scan standalone at 10 fps — worth it if you scan on site, in a workshop, or anywhere a tethered laptop is awkward. Is it accurate enough for jewellery or dental work? With the S module, yes: 0.01 mm accuracy and 0.05 mm resolution are appropriate for capturing jewellery pieces and dental models where the scan will drive a printed master or a CAD rebuild. For anything intended for use in a patient's mouth, the scan is only one part of a validated workflow — the resin and the printer must also be certified for that application. What software does it use, and is it included? The scanning and processing software is included at no extra cost. Geomagic Wrap for 3DMakerpro (Essential) is available separately for advanced mesh editing, surfacing and reverse engineering — worth considering if the scan is a starting point for CAD rather than a finished mesh.
