How much does a 3D foot scanner cost?

The price of a 3D foot scanner is greatly influenced by its functions, precision, brand, and application scenarios. It can be mainly categorized into the following price ranges and key points for selection:

1. Price Ranges

Basic Consumer Level (For Shoe Stores/Personal Use)
Price: ¥15,000–¥32,000
Usage: Static foot shape measurement, shoe size recommendation, basic arch analysis.

Mid-to-High-End Medical/Industrial Grade
Price: ¥50,000–¥130,000
Usage: Custom insole design, foot disease diagnosis (e.g., flat feet, high arches), dynamic biomechanical analysis.
Example: Medical-grade devices offer ±0.5mm accuracy and support arch collapse quantification and pressure distribution detection.

Professional Grade (For Research/Precision Medicine)
Price: ¥100,000 and above
Usage: Complex foot modeling, industrial-grade biomechanics research, with accuracy ≤0.05mm.

2. Core Price Influencing Factors

Accuracy and Resolution
Consumer-grade: ±1mm; Medical-grade: ±0.5mm; Professional-grade: ≤0.05mm.
Each 0.5mm improvement in accuracy may double the price.

Functionality Expansion
Dynamic scanning and AI gait analysis modules can increase the price by 30%–50%.

Brand and Services
Domestic brands such as JingYiXun offer high cost performance (price premium around 10%–20%), while imported brands can cost 30%–50% more.
After-sales service (software updates, warranty) affects long-term usage costs.

3. Purchase Recommendations

For In-Store Foot Measurement/Shoe Size Matching:
Choose consumer-grade models (¥25,000–32,000), focus on scan speed (≤10 seconds) and software compatibility.

For Medical Institutions/Orthotic Customization:
Prioritize medical-grade devices (above ¥50,000), ensuring support for arch height measurement, pronation/supination analysis, and 3D printing output.

For Industrial R&D:
Professional-grade devices should offer millimeter-level precision and large-area scanning (e.g., 128m³ site coverage).

Note: Some listed prices (e.g., ¥5,000–7,000) are deposits only; actual total cost depends on specific model and configuration.
When purchasing, verify laser safety (near-infrared wavelength) and data output format (e.g., STL).
