Elegoo's Entry into 3D Scanning
Elegoo has launched the M1 Ultra, marking its initial venture into the 3D scanner market. This new device is equipped with five distinct scanning modes, including four blue light laser modes and a NIR binocular structured light mode. A notable feature is its 3-inch color touch screen and extended battery life, with a spare rechargeable battery included.
Connectivity and Processing Requirements
The M1 Ultra is not a standalone system; it necessitates a high-end PC or Mac for processing scanned data. Connectivity options include a USB-C cable for faster data transfer or Wi-Fi for wireless operation. The device can maintain a Wi-Fi connection up to five feet from the subject, even in environments with radio frequency interference.

Weighing 511g (1.12lbs) with its battery, the M1 Ultra features a rubber grip and is balanced for handheld use. The onboard screen allows users to set scanning parameters, initiate and stop scans, and monitor progress. The scanner comes with a hard travel case, a glass calibration board, NIR filters, and a USB-C cable, though a turntable is not included.
Performance and Pricing
The M1 Ultra's output quality is comparable to other scanners, though achieving optimal results may require additional effort. Priced at $1,599, the scanner offers a feature set that competes with other devices in its price category.
