The Artec Micro II would suit my desires, but its way too expensive for me.
3D Scanning a Small Object in Under 15 Minutes with Artec Micro II
I don’t think I can put 30 years of experience into a simple tutorial .
I just watched that video …meh 
That suppose to be high accuracy and quality ? Little blob
Look the screw thread was smaller than the stone , look the thread details when using Auto scanning and MetroX
It even captured the 3D spray on top of the screw’s head .
Comparing the price … no thank you

This scan is pretty impressive!
Might be interesting to scan 4-5 screws of different sizes at the same time (like M2-M6) as you did here as a benchmark and the compare the sizes (thread pith, width,…).
Thanks
This one above was M5 I think , not specialist in screws neither have any , just made it for other users that asked .
It was spare screw from my chair I found in my husband’s tool box
This was M7 I think thread 1m
Also spare screw from my chair lol
It is Auto scan mode , you should have one object in center for best precision and accuracy

Aptly put. You buy today’s product for what it is and what it offers you today. Tomorrow is another story.
And why you reply to me ? I was not the one concerned about it

The car analogy is a good one. But its not a question of owning one vehicle your entire life, but rather do you own one or two simultaneously.
Your first car may be a gas-powered vehicle which you use for local trips as well as long-distance trips. It does the job of getting you around, but is it the best for local vs long-distance trips? So you might purchase a 2nd vehicle which is all electric - it is economical for short trips around town, but not practical for long trips that exceed its range, so you use your gas vehicle for those long trips. But owning 2 vehicles is costly. You may then decide to sell both of them and purchase a hyrbrid, which gives you the functionality of electric for local trips around town, and the ability to do longer trips exceeding the vehicles electric range.
The best option comes down to what you do. If all you ever do is local trips, you get the electric vehicle for cost-savings. If all you ever do is long-distance trips, you buy the gas vehicle. If you do some combination of both, you get the hybrid.
Maybe the same applies to your scanning needs…
Its called a mistake…
