ELEGOO has launched the M1 Ultra, its first all-in-one smart 3D scanner, taking the Chinese 3D printing brand into a new product category. The scanner went on sale on October 29, 2026, at a standard retail price of $1,699. Early-bird pricing of $1,599 is available through November 12. ELEGOO is positioning the device for professional work in customization, reverse engineering, education, digital archiving and other creative projects.
At the center of the launch is a blue-laser scanning system that ELEGOO says reaches accuracy of up to 0.02 mm, with volumetric accuracy of 0.02 mm plus 0.06 mm per meter. The company describes that level as metrology-grade. To support repeatable capture, the M1 Ultra 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, while 24-bit full-colour texture mapping with image signal processing captures an object’s surface appearance alongside its geometry.
Five scanning modes are provided for different objects and jobs. A 34-line blue laser mode is aimed at medium-to-large objects, while a seven-line blue laser mode is intended for fine details on small-to-medium parts. A single-line blue laser mode addresses deep holes, narrow gaps and other difficult areas. An infrared structured-light mode covers face, body and object scanning, and a marker-free blue-laser mode offers an alternative where applying markers is impractical. The scanner supports objects from 5 × 5 × 5 mm³ to 4,000 × 4,000 × 4,000 mm³. ELEGOO also says it can scan black and metallic surfaces without coating powder.
For portability, the M1 Ultra 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. Its handheld body is designed to be lightweight and ergonomic, allowing users to move between workspaces and scan objects in different settings. ELEGOO SCAN software is intended to simplify the path from capture to a usable model. Guided setup, tracking assistance and multi-scan alignment support the scanning process, while automated one-click processing handles mesh wrapping, mesh optimization and colour 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 the M1 Ultra is intended to combine precision, versatility and workflow efficiency in one integrated solution, making advanced 3D scanning more accessible across applications. He also described the launch as a step in expanding ELEGOO’s 3D creation ecosystem and connecting physical and digital worlds. The scanner is available at standard prices of $1,699, €1,699, £1,399, CAD 2,399 and JPY 299,999. Early-bird prices through November 12 are $1,599, €1,599, £1,319, CAD 2,299 and JPY 284,999.
The launch places ELEGOO alongside other consumer 3D printing brands that are broadening into scanning. Creality, at IFA 2026 in Berlin, introduced 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, single-frame accuracy of 0.02 mm and three modes, including 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 these companies add scanning to their product portfolios, capturing physical objects is becoming part of the same workflow as making them. For ELEGOO, the M1 Ultra extends its range from 3D printing into data capture, while the included software and export options are intended to connect scanned objects to downstream design, modelling and manufacturing work.
