#3DBenchy is a 3D model specifically designed for testing and benchmarking 3D printers. It is a small recognizable object that you can download for free, make and share. By 3D-printing this STL file you will be able to benchmark your 3D printer and materials and compare the result to other users' prints and machines.

If we look at the 3D surface scanner, 3D models are directly created while scanning, but for the CT Scanner, 3D models are obtained indirectly from calculation after scanning. CT Scanner produces slice models that are then assembled together.

PETG, or polyethylene terephthalate glycol, is a thermoplastic that is one of the most widely used polymers in additive manufacturing. Notably, it is a popular choice for filaments and fused deposition modeling because it combines both the simplicity of PLA 3D printing and the strength of ABS.

With the large variety of scanners and their capabilities, the cost to hire 3D scanning services varies depending on object size, complexity, speed, application, quality, and quantity. On average, the price ranges from $250 for a simple small object to more than $2,000 for a complex mechanical part.
