The Creality CR-Scan Ferret SE is a compact handheld 3D scanner with dual laser and structured light, accuracy up to 0.1 mm and a resolution of 0.16 mm. It scans objects from 15 × 15 × 15 mm up to 2 × 2 × 2 m, handles dark and glossy surfaces without spray, and connects directly to a laptop, desktop, or Android phone via USB-C.

0.1 mm accuracy for reverse engineering and content creation

The Ferret SE captures geometry with a single-point accuracy of up to 0.1 mm and a resolution of 0.16 mm. That is enough for faithful digital copies of mechanical parts, sculptural models, prototypes, and human figures. Data is delivered in common formats for CAD and 3D printing, so slicers and modeling software integrate directly with the scanner.

Dual mode: visible light and infrared laser

The scanner combines two optical modes. Visible structured light is fast and precise on medium-sized objects, while the supplementary infrared laser can handle dark, transparent, and low-contrast surfaces that conventional LED scanners cannot see without matting spray. Switching between modes takes just one click in the CR Studio application.

Wide range of scannable objects

The minimum object size is 15 × 15 × 15 mm and the maximum is 2 × 2 × 2 m. With a single piece of hardware you can cover tiny screws, replacement parts printed from PETG or PLA, as well as entire engine covers, furniture, or the human body. The working distance from the object is 150 to 400 mm.

Speed of up to 30 frames per second

A 30 FPS frame rate and a wide field of view (up to 560 × 820 mm at maximum distance) enable smooth handheld scanning. The software stitches the point cloud in real time, so you can immediately see which areas are still missing and don't have to start scanning over from scratch.

USB-C connection to PC and phone

The Ferret SE communicates with the host device through a single USB-C cable that provides both power and data transfer. It works with Windows 10/11 (x64), macOS on Apple Silicon, and phones running Android 9.0 or higher. Direct scanning to a mobile device is handy when you don't have a laptop at hand or when you're scanning in the field.

CR Studio - a simple workflow from scan to export

The bundled CR Studio software guides the user through the entire process: calibration, the scan itself, cleanup, alignment of multiple passes, mesh generation, and export to STL, OBJ, or PLY. Content creators can also take advantage of texturing based on color data.

Ergonomics and a weight of 105 g

The scanner head weighs just 105 g and sits comfortably in your hand even during longer sessions. You don't need to deal with a tripod or a turntable - just walk around the object and keep the working distance. However, the body is also ready for tripod mounting via a standard thread.

The ideal companion to a 3D printer

The Ferret SE is a logical upgrade for anyone who already prints with PLA, PETG, ABS or with technical materials such as ASA, nylon, and carbon. Scanning gives you references for reverse engineering, production of spare parts, custom mounts, or a digital archive of models.
