Your Options for Buying a 3D Scanner in the Philippines

1. Local Authorized Distributors (Recommended)

The best option for most buyers. Local distributors like Make It 3D Philippines carry authorized stock, provide local warranty support, and can offer pre-sales consultation in Filipino or English.

Advantages:

  • No customs clearance headaches
  • Local warranty and after-sales support
  • Technical assistance from people who understand your use case
  • You can ask questions before buying

We carry the following scanners with full local support:

2. Shopee & Lazada

Some 3D scanners are available on Shopee and Lazada, but buyer beware:

  • Most listings are from resellers, not authorized distributors
  • Warranty claims are difficult or impossible
  • You may receive gray market units with no local support
  • Return policies are limited for high-value electronics

If you see a 3D scanner on Shopee at a price that seems too good to be true it usually is.

3. Direct from International Brands (e.g., Revopoint Official Website)

Brands like Revopoint sell directly through their website and ship internationally. However:

  • Shipping to the Philippines can take 2–4 weeks
  • You'll pay customs duties and taxes on arrival
  • After-sales support is handled remotely (time zone differences)
  • No local technician if something goes wrong

4. Second-Hand / Facebook Marketplace

Occasionally, used 3D scanners appear on Facebook Marketplace or OLX. These can be good deals, but:

  • No warranty
  • Unknown usage history
  • Calibration may be off
  • Software licenses may not transfer
