Creality has a coupon code for the Otter Lite Basic 3D scanner. The scanner goes for $399, and shipping is free when you use the discount code:
OLBONLY
You can find the code on the
blog [creality.com], where you'll also find the system requirements (8th gen Core i5 CPU, 8GB RAM for the Otter series).
Be sure to select the Otter Lite
Basic, as the code doesn't work for the Otter Lite.
The Otter scanners are well suited for scanning people. They have a larger single capture range and better tracking than entry-level scanners like the Ferret, so they scan faster. You can, for example, scan your whole family when you meet them for Christmas.
The Otter Lite has a 0.05mm accuracy (about 0.002 inches), and up to 30fps scanning speed, it can capture objects from 20mm (0.8 in) to 2 meters (about 6.5 feet).
The basic version doesn't come with the Wi-Fi handle, unlike the Otter Lite. The Otter Lite is a wired version of the same 3D scanner.
If you want to compare scan quality, I scanned this one with the cheaper Ferret scanner

And this one was scanned with the Otter:

I don't own the Otter Lite, but the regular Otter. I set the resolution to 0.05 mm, which gives the same result as the Otter Lite.
Otter Lite (Basic) specs:

However the Ferret SE is the same price with the coupon.

Ferret: SE: Wired version, only works with PC/Mac
Ferret Pro: Wi-Fi version, works with PC/Mac + Android (wired and wireless) and with iPhones (wireless)
Otter: Wired (0.02mm resolution)
Otter + optional scan bridge: Wireless (0.02mm resolution)
Otter Lite: Wireless (0.05mm resolution)
Otter Lite Basic: Wired (0.05mm resolution)
All of the wireless models also work with iPhones because iPhones don't support connecting scanners via USB.
Compared to the Ferret, the Otter (Lite) has a larger field of view, which speeds up scanning and makes tracking easier. It also supports scanning smaller objects and has a higher resolution. Both are NIR camera 3D scanners.
For more technical applications, there are also blue laser line and cross laser scanners (Raptor/Sermoon), which provide even higher detail, but require markers (little stickers that you put all over the model) in laser mode.
