ELEGOO has launched the M1 Ultra, its first all-in-one smart 3D scanner, extending the Chinese 3D printing brand's product lineup from printing into capture. The company said the device went on sale on October 29, 2026, with a standard retail price of USD 1,699 and early-bird pricing of USD 1,599 through November 12.
Regional pricing follows the same structure. Standard prices are EUR 1,699, GBP 1,399, CAD 2,399 and JPY 299,999. During the early-bird window, the scanner is priced at EUR 1,599, GBP 1,319, CAD 2,299 and JPY 284,999. ELEGOO positions the M1 Ultra for customization, reverse engineering, education, digital archiving and other creative projects.
Accuracy and capture hardware
ELEGOO says the M1 Ultra delivers blue-laser scanning accuracy of up to 0.02 mm and volumetric accuracy of 0.02 mm plus 0.06 mm per meter. The company describes this level of precision as metrology-grade. To support consistent results, the scanner uses an all-glass optical system, intelligent temperature compensation and high-precision camera calibration. Global-shutter cameras are intended to reduce motion blur and distortion during scanning.
The device also captures color. It offers 24-bit full-color texture mapping with image signal processing optimization, so users can record an object's geometry and visual appearance. ELEGOO says the scanner can handle objects from 5 x 5 x 5 mm3 to 4,000 x 4,000 x 4,000 mm3 and can scan black and metallic surfaces without coating powder.
Five scanning modes
The M1 Ultra provides five modes for different objects and tasks. A 34-line blue laser mode is intended for medium-to-large objects, while a 7-line blue laser mode targets fine details on small-to-medium parts. A single-line blue laser mode is designed for deep holes, narrow gaps and other hard-to-reach areas. An infrared structured light mode covers face, body and object scanning, and a marker-free blue laser mode offers an alternative when applying markers is impractical.
Portable workflow
The scanner is designed for use across different environments. It has a 3-inch HD touchscreen, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and a 4,800 mAh swappable battery that supports up to 1.5 hours of wireless scanning. ELEGOO describes the handheld body as lightweight and ergonomic. The company's ELEGOO SCAN software includes guided setup, tracking assistance and multi-scan alignment, followed by automated one-click processing for mesh wrapping, mesh optimization and color mapping. Scan data can be exported in STL, OBJ, PLY and ASC formats for compatible third-party software.
Kevin Wang, co-founder and vice president of ELEGOO, said 3D scanning opens new possibilities for capturing and working with physical objects. He said the M1 Ultra aims to combine precision, versatility and workflow efficiency in one integrated solution and to make advanced 3D scanning more accessible. Wang added that the launch is an important step in expanding ELEGOO's 3D creation ecosystem and connecting the physical and digital worlds.
Consumer brands broaden their scope
The launch places ELEGOO in a growing group of consumer 3D printing companies extending into scanning. Creality used IFA 2026 in Berlin to present a lineup spanning multicolor printing, filament recycling, resin printing, 3D scanning, laser processing and 3D printed footwear. Its Pika 3D scanner uses a seven-line blue laser and near-infrared scanning in a 260 g body, with accuracy to 0.03 mm and scan speeds up to 110 fps. Revopoint's Trackit SR wireless scanner offers marker-free optical tracking metrology, single-frame accuracy of 0.02 mm and a Deep Hole Mode using a single blue laser line. 3DMakerpro's Toucan all-in-one scanner lets users scan, edit and fuse complete 3D models without a computer.
As consumer brands add scanning to their portfolios, capturing objects is becoming part of the same workflow as making them. For ELEGOO, the M1 Ultra is both a new product category and a bid to compete across that wider workflow.
