3D scanner manufacturerRevopointhas launched its latest 3D scanning system on Kickstarter.
Aimed at both consumers and professionals, the new space-efficientRevopoint MINIis the company’s first machine based on structured blue light technology. The full-color scanner is designed to combine performance and affordability, ensuring anyone and everyone can capture the finest feature details in their 3D scanning projects.
Compared to Revopoint’s flagship POP 2 scanner, the new MINI offers a smaller capture range and a higher scan precision of just 0.02mm. This makes it suitable for a wide variety of small part scanning applications with tight precision requirements, including reverse engineering, dental modeling, jewelry, industrial quality control, and 3D printing.
The Revopoint MINI
The Revopoint MINI is defined by its ease of use and simplicity, offering a compact form factor weighing just 160g. Manufactured out of die-cast aluminum, the system is designed to be as portable as possible and can be used in both handheld mode for larger parts and tripod mode for smaller parts. The firm has even included a 360° turntable in the box so users can sit back, relax, and let the scanner do its thing.
Unlike many laser-based scanning systems, the MINI is built to work without any positioning targets, meaning accessibility is a priority. The blue light technology powering the machine is also designed to be less sensitive to ambient light so it should capture excellent detail even in highly-lit environments.
Thanks to its full-color capabilities, the system will accurately recreate the color and texture of scanned parts with ease. Much like any scanner on the market, it may require a matte scanning spray when it comes to transparent, highly-reflective, or pitch black surfaces.
Looking at some of the key specs, the MINI can scan small objects down to 10 x 10 x 10mm, as well as larger objects up to a maximum of 500 x 500 x 500mm. The system comes equipped with a dual-camera setup, a dual-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor, and a scan speed of 10fps. According to Revopoint, the machine leverages a new scanning algorithm designed to enable a smoother scanning experience with minimal surface stitching errors.
全面的软件套件
Since the MINI is compatible with many of today’s major third-party engineering and design software, it can send the 3D file of a complete scan (in STL, OBJ, or PLY) directly to any smart device for additional post-processing.
自然，那些不想使用扫描仪中包含的microUSB电缆的人可以选择基于Wi-Fi的数据传输，从而获得不受束力的体验。
Users also have the option to leverage Revopoint’s own software suite to aid in their 3D scanning workflows. Revo Scan is the firm’s proprietary scan preparation software, Revo Studio is a dedicated 3D model editing program, and Revo Calibration can be used to re-calibrate the 3D scanner and factory reset the internal settings.
