Need some advice on scanning (sh.itjust.works)

I’m having a bit of a hard time with this, but I also acknowledge this is still relatively niche still.

I’d like to make printed recreations of some parts that I currently have. They’re unfortunately a bit complex to quickly recreate manually in a sculpting software. I do have an iPad PRo and a budget for any additional hardware to help. I was hoping I could find a carousel I could connect to the iPad Pro and use and app to control the carousel and scan the parts. I’m not finding anything.

Can anyone recommend a good setup to make 3D scans of these small parts, or an app/hardware combo that could help me accomplish this?

Maybe something like that? It's not even for sale yet. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Yea! Heck even this one would likely work https://store.creality.com/products/cr-scan-ferret-se-3d-scanner

It wouldn't. Source: I've got one and it sucks.

Good to know! I’ll probably go with the open scanner then
