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?

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

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