Description
Revopoint MetroX & MetroX Pro Professional 3D Scanners
The Revopoint MetroX Series combines multi-line blue laser scanning and full-field blue structured light in a professional handheld and desktop 3D scanner. Designed for small to medium-sized objects, MetroX and MetroX Pro provide high-accuracy scanning for reverse engineering, product development, inspection, prototyping, 3D printing and digital replication.
Choose the MetroX for high-accuracy professional scanning or step up to the MetroX Pro for faster laser capture, more projected laser lines and improved volumetric accuracy.
- Industrial-Grade Accuracy: Up to 0.02 mm single-frame accuracy and 0.01 mm single-frame precision.
- Blue Laser + Structured Light: Multiple scanning technologies allow the scanner to adapt to detailed, low-feature, dark and reflective objects.
- Four Scanning Modes: Cross-line laser, parallel-line laser, full-field structured light and automated turntable scanning.
- Small to Medium Object Scanning: Capture objects as small as 10 × 10 × 10 mm and scan volumes up to 1 × 1 × 1 m.
- Fast Full-Field Capture: Capture up to 7,000,000 points per second using full-field structured light.
- High-Speed Laser Scanning: Up to 800,000 points/s with MetroX or 2,000,000 points/s with MetroX Pro.
- 2 MP RGB Camera: Supports colour scanning in Auto Turntable Mode.
- Automatic Turntable Scanning: The included dual-axis turntable can automate object positioning and scanning.
- Professional Export Formats: Export PLY, OBJ, STL, ASC, 3MF, GLTF and FBX files.
- Free Revo Metro Software: Scan, fuse, mesh, edit, merge and export models without purchasing additional scanning software.
MetroX vs. MetroX Pro
Both scanners use the same core blue-laser and structured-light technologies, scanning volume, working distance and 0.02 mm single-frame accuracy. MetroX Pro increases the number of projected laser lines, substantially improves laser capture speed and provides better volumetric accuracy.
| Feature | MetroX | MetroX Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Single-Frame Precision | Up to 0.01 mm | Up to 0.01 mm |
| Single-Frame Accuracy | Up to 0.02 mm | Up to 0.02 mm |
| Volumetric Accuracy | 0.025 mm + 0.05 mm × L (m) | 0.02 mm + 0.04 mm × L (m) |
| Cross Laser Lines | 14 | 30 |
| Parallel Laser Lines | 7 | 15 |
| Full-Field Structured Light | 62 lines | 62 lines |
| Maximum Laser Capture Rate | 800,000 points/s | 2,000,000 points/s |
| Maximum Full-Field Capture Rate | 7,000,000 points/s | 7,000,000 points/s |
| Working Distance | 200–400 mm | 200–400 mm |
| Maximum Scan Volume | 1 × 1 × 1 m | 1 × 1 × 1 m |
Four Flexible Scanning Modes
Cross-Line Laser Scanning
Cross-line blue laser scanning rapidly captures flat, low-feature, dark and reflective surfaces. MetroX projects 14 crossed laser lines, while MetroX Pro increases this to 30 crossed laser lines for significantly faster surface capture.
Parallel-Line Laser Scanning
Parallel-line mode is designed for fine details, edges and complex geometry. MetroX projects 7 parallel blue laser lines while MetroX Pro increases this to 15 parallel lines.
Full-Field Blue Structured Light
A 62-line structured-light pattern captures feature-rich objects at up to 7 million points per second. Suitable objects can be scanned marker-free using feature tracking.
Auto Turntable Mode
Use the included dual-axis turntable together with Revo Metro to automatically rotate and capture smaller objects. This mode simplifies desktop scanning and also enables full-colour capture using the scanner's integrated RGB camera.
Improved Performance with MetroX Pro
MetroX Pro is designed for users who want faster professional laser scanning without moving to a completely different scanner platform. Its 30 crossed laser lines and 15 parallel lines provide more than double the laser projection density of the standard MetroX.
Laser capture speed increases from up to 800,000 points per second on MetroX to as much as 2,000,000 points per second on MetroX Pro. MetroX Pro also improves volumetric accuracy from 0.025 mm + 0.05 mm × L (m) to 0.02 mm + 0.04 mm × L (m).
High-Accuracy Scanning
Both MetroX and MetroX Pro provide single-frame precision down to 0.01 mm and single-frame accuracy up to 0.02 mm under controlled test conditions.
The scanners can produce a fused point distance as fine as 0.05 mm, making the MetroX Series suitable for detailed mechanical parts, reverse engineering, product development, digital reproduction and inspection workflows.
Flexible Capture Area
A working distance of 200–400 mm provides flexibility when scanning objects with different sizes and geometries.
- Capture Area at 200 mm: 160 × 70 mm
- Capture Area at 400 mm: 320 × 215 mm
- Minimum Scan Volume: 10 × 10 × 10 mm
- Maximum Scan Volume: 1 × 1 × 1 m
- Angular Field of View: 43° × 33°
Scan Dark and Reflective Surfaces
Multi-line blue laser modes allow many dark, black and metallic surfaces to be captured directly without first coating the entire object with scanning spray. For maximum detail, or when scanning transparent or strongly specular surfaces, scanning spray may still be required.
In full-field structured-light mode, scanning spray is recommended for transparent, black, highly reflective or specular surfaces.
Feature, Marker and Global Marker Tracking
The MetroX Series supports three tracking methods:
- Feature Tracking
- Marker Tracking
- Global Marker Tracking
Tracking markers are required for laser-line scanning. Structured-light scanning can operate marker-free when an object contains sufficient unique surface geometry, although marker tracking can improve alignment stability.
Revo Metro Software Included
Revopoint's Revo Metro software is included at no additional charge. It provides the complete core scanning workflow, including:
- 3D scanning and point-cloud capture
- Point-cloud fusion
- Meshing
- Editing and cleanup
- Hole filling
- Scan merging
- Model import and export
Revo Metro does not require an active internet connection for normal scanning and model editing. Internet access is required for software updates and online file transfers.
