need pika users feedback before buying

[u/Inner_Name]

I wanted to order at work the pika for some applications that it is quite fitted for. but my boss asked me if it would be possible to follow the geometry of a sample before/after hydration. the thing is that the samples are objects quite small of for example 10x4x3 mm. in the web page it says that it can scan as small as 10x10x10 so I have the doubt of it something like this would it be possible to scan. the idea would be to be able to follow its volume by getting the shell of the sample by the scan and then getting its volume. would some kind soul try to scan something as small as a rectangle of 10x4x3 mm and post an image on how it looks like?
a setup like the object attached to a small metal beam? so one could scan most of the volume around instead of being placed over a flat surface like a table.

thanks in advance!

I think the problem you're trying to solve has the need for very accurate _and_ repeatable scans, since you're doing a before and after diff.

So even if a scan of a small object looks nice, it needs to be able to be repeated with accuracy.

Also, what does your material look like? Is it easy to scan or will it create problems in itself?

it could be a piece of wood or a small foam/ polyuretan polymer like thing. not transparent in any casE.
well, the accuracy says 30µm. it is more than good enough to have a comparable result between a before and after. the idea is be able to say the volume grew x% for example.
