Which workflow favors which scanner?
Match the minimum object size and close-range capture mode.
Wide-area tracking and working distance matter more here.
Prioritizes edges, surface adaptability and part workflow.
Both capture quality and mesh cleanup determine usefulness.
Standalone processing or wireless capture reduces field equipment.

Questions answered
Before you choose
Should I buy CR-Scan Raptor or Pika?
Choose CR-Scan Raptor when lower claimed accuracy figure matters most. Choose Pika when portable capture is the priority.
Does the lower accuracy number guarantee a better scan?
No. Optical mode, object surface, tracking, calibration and scan technique can matter more than a best-case single-frame number.
