Which Revopoint 3D Scanner Should I Choose?

Revopoint offers several different 3D scanning technologies, from compact structured-light scanners for small detailed objects to professional blue-laser scanners and completely standalone scanning systems.

The right scanner depends primarily on the size of the objects you need to capture, the level of dimensional accuracy required, whether you need to scan dark or reflective surfaces, and whether you want to work with or without a connected computer.

Revopoint Scanner Selection by Application

Laser Scanning vs. Structured-Light Scanning

Blue laser scanners such as the MetroX and MetroY families are especially useful for mechanical parts, dark surfaces, metal components and reverse-engineering workflows. Laser scanning generally requires tracking markers, but it can capture many difficult surfaces that are challenging for conventional structured-light systems.

Structured-light scanners project a pattern onto the object and calculate its shape from the distortion of that pattern. They can provide fast, marker-free scanning when an object has sufficient surface geometry.

Hybrid scanners such as the POP 4, MetroX Pro and MetroY Pro combine multiple capture technologies so the scanning method can be selected according to the object and application.
