Which 3D printer is suitable for printing figures?

[yang49388]

I am a newbie in 3D scanning and 3D printing. In fact, my needs are very simple. I want to scan objects in daily life, such as fruits, shoes, plates, ornaments, real people, etc., and then print them out to make figurines.

I have understood the basic process of 3D printing figures, modeling + data processing + 3D printing + coloring

Because I lack modeling knowledge, I chose a reverse 3D scanning method to obtain 3D data.
After browsing the 3D scanners on the market, I finally chose MIRACO, which is affordable and easy to use. It can basically meet my daily needs, ranging from a cup of Coke to a human body. Below are some of the models I scanned.

Next, I need to perform subsequent operations such as printing. I have some questions:

1. The model format I exported is STL (can be used directly for 3D printing), then do I still need to slice it?
2. What type of 3D printer should I choose?

I would be grateful if you have any good suggestions
