Way back in 2013 I owned a structured light 3D scanner rig. It was somewhat effective but pretty clunky. This CR-T from Creality utilises the same technique in a much more polished package.

This is quite a cohesive product that works well for the most part. Unfortunately there are some issues such as the broken cloud login and vertical scanning (and the big price tag). Structured light has its limitations too, which can be overcome with a degree of effort.

This does a lot of things right. The calibration is fast and easy, and the automatic removal of background noise is impressive. The tablet is powerful and processes multiple pieces of complex geometry in a timely manner. Most of the limitations shown here are limitations of this technology rather than limitations of this product.

What uses do you see for this type of technology?

This scanner provided free of charge for the purposes of this review, all opinions expressed are my own.
