When it comes to scanning miniatures or small components, the best 3D scanner for small objects is one that offers high resolution, precise detail capture, and good texture scanning. Look for scanners with a resolution under 0.05 mm and structured light or laser technology. Popular options include the Revopoint MINI, Shining 3D EinScan-SE, and the Artec Micro for professional use. Also, make sure it comes with solid software for mesh cleanup and editing.
