Elegoo puts its first 3D scanner, the M1 Ultra, on sale at $1,699
The handheld scanner combines blue-laser and infrared capture, with an early-bird price until November 12 and no accuracy figures in Elegoo’s own post.
What happened
Elegoo’s October 30 post says the M1 Ultra has been available since October 29, after an October 22 release that pre-announced the date without pricing. Retail pricing is US $1,699, €1,699 and £1,399; early-bird pricing of US $1,599, €1,599 and £1,319 runs from October 29 to November 12.
The handheld unit combines blue-laser and infrared structured-light capture and carries a 3-inch touchscreen, Wi-Fi 6 for wireless scanning and a 4,800 mAh swappable battery rated for up to 1.5 hours untethered. The ELEGOO SCAN software offers guided setup, tracking assistance, multi-scan alignment and one-click mesh wrapping, optimization and color mapping, exporting STL, OBJ, PLY and ASC.
Elegoo’s post gives no numeric accuracy, resolution, weight or scan-range figures, no shipping dates and no detail on whether a turntable or markers are included. Specification sheets quoted by trade press cite accuracy up to 0.02 mm in blue-laser mode, which remains a manufacturer claim without independent testing.
