I've had the most success doing 3d scanning with Heges. The LiDAR works pretty well for large objects (like cars), but you can also use the Face ID depth camera to capture smaller objects.

I did end up getting the Creality Ferret SE (via TikTok for like $100) for scanning small objects, and it's amazing.

Oh! $100 is a great price. I always see it at around $300-350 and I haven't bought it...
I take it back; I double checked and it was more like $180. Still worth it IMO.
Does it scan hard surfaces pretty well, or does it mangle the shapes? Think car parts.
I did a test scan on a small object (1:12 scale doll), and it seems to capture fine details really well, but I can't say for sure that it would be suitable for things like car parts; you would have to try it and see I suppose.
