{{Main|Creality forces update that removes features from their 3D scanners}}Creality's 3D scanners were advertised that they would feature the ability to scan with a wired connection to a phone. Creality forced an update to the Creality Scan smartphone app that locked access to previously available features such as scanning with a phone link from their 3D scanners behind a paywall. After this update, for the previously available features to work again, you need to buy the $250–$300 USD Creality Scan Bridge.
