Creality CR-Scan Ferret Pro review

The wireless version of the Ferret: a Wi-Fi box, a tripod, a power bank and a phone holder come in the kit, with OBJ, STL and PLY export.

Wireless is the upgrade

The kit adds a Wi-Fi box, a power bank and a phone holder. That means scanning a car part or a piece of furniture with no cable running to a laptop.

Honest limits

Creality prints a warning here that the SE listing does not: avoid reflective, transparent or very dark surfaces. Plan on scanning spray for those.

Output

OBJ, STL and PLY cover printing and most modeling software. A 0.1 mm claim is printed, with no conditions attached.

Questions makers ask before buying

Can it use my phone?

Yes. The listing names iOS and Android, along with Windows 10 and 11, with a Wi-Fi 6 box.

Which surfaces should I avoid?

The listing itself says to avoid reflective, transparent or very dark surfaces for best results.

Our score

7.0/ 10

The convenient choice over the SE: the wireless kit justifies the extra money if you scan away from a desk.
