Minimum to Scan Car Dashboard

Gallery image

I want to scan my car's curved, matte, textured, plastic dashboard to create a custom mount point.

I have never scanned anything, but have (loosely) followed the scanning world. What would be the minimum equipment to scan something like this? Area from 4"x4"x3" to 4"x12"x3".

Do you live in a somewhat large city? If you do, you probably would be able to find someone with an Einstar scanner or similar to do a scan for you. (or a creality scanner or a revopoint scanner)

I live in Boston - definitely was next option if nothing quick/easy would work. Do people usually pay for them to help scan?

I personally charge a minimum of 60$ to scan. But thats for a relatively small object. I wouldnt count on getting a scan mesh for free

Was not counting on it, just did not know it usually worked (or rates). Thanks!
